I really didn’t *want* to eat at an Italian restaurant in the middle of Prague, but the menu actually had a good mix of Italian and Czech food items, so we decided to stop. We picked a small table towards the back, as far away from the large groups as we could get, while still being in the dining room. The waiter was at our table immediately, handing over the menu and asking our drink order. I was tired of «bright» beers by that point, and wanted something not a pilsner. I saw they offered a «dark» beer, so I ordered a large one of those. My husband wanted the waiter to recommend something, which ended up being the bright beer. The beers came out quickly, and once they were delivered, we put in our orders. I went with the roasted duck plate, and my husband went balls out with the many-meats plate(I think they called it something more eloquent, but it’s basically a plate piled high with several different meats). The restaurant was cool and comfortable, and though it was full — there were at least three large groups dining there at the same time — it never got too terribly loud. I enjoyed the dark beer immensely — it was almost a Guinness, but not quite. It was missing the smokiness that always seems to assault my senses. My husband was disappointed with the light beer, and vowed to order a dark one once he finished it. When the food was delivered, I was glad I went with my plate. The many-meats place just looked insane, whereas my plate looked manageable. The duck had some really good flavor, but there wasn’t a whole lot of meat on it. I’m not usually a fan of duck, to be honest, but I’d seen it on several other menus under the«local flavor» sections, so I figured I’d give it a try. It was good, but not exactly filling. My husband, meanwhile, was busy digging in to his meat plate. It came with some spinach gnocchi and sauerkraut, along with some duck, a stuffed chicken breast, sausage and pickled cabbage. He seemed to love it — it was hard to get an answer out of him while he was chewing. I did enjoy dining here. The waiter was super friendly and smiled all the time, which was nice. The food was decent and the beer was cool and refreshing. We’d probably go back, the next time we visit the city.

A charming little restaurant near the centre of Prague. I was there for a set meal and they dealt with my food allergies with ease, essentially offering me whatever I wanted from their menu whilst falling in line with the set 3 course meal they were offering. I had a caprese salad, a larger vegetable salad and a fruit dessert. It was delicious. Others in my group had soup for a starter, chicken wrapped in bacon and then ice cream for dessert. Everyone loved the food, it was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The wine and beer was reasonably good, and the absinthe certainly went down well! Staff were very polite and friendly and the service was brilliant. I would recommend this restaurant.
