I really enjoyed my stuffed eggplant and mixed vegetables. They do accept credit cards, contrary to what one reviewer stated.

I've eaten here many times, which I hope says something about how good it is. The locals eat here too, which definitely says something - Italians don't tolerate bad food. OK, it isn't fine-dining but there is plenty of choice and it is all good quality. You get to see what you're ordering and I have always found the staff friendly and super helpful. Excellent value for what you pay. I had a 3 course meal yesterday for €20.
