The food here is delicious but definitely better to have several people to share and enjoy the various options! The house bread was piping hot and had yummy dips to go with it. I had the calamari as well as the fattush, both delicious and flavorful but too much for one person!The staff here is great and helped us to get a GETT taxi back to our hotel. The server helped us with our options as well and wanted our feedback.I know not everyone enjoys them, but nice to see the cats/kittens around the al fresco dining area.Thank you for this review, we are Glad you enjoyed our hospitality , come and visit us again soon .

After a morning movie we went for lunch at Zanzara. It is a simple and unpretentious Italian restaurant. It is like a very good family trattoria in Italy. We were 5 and had 2 salads and a pizza and it all was great. The food is well prepared and the salads are fresh and very good. Do not miss this oneYona S.

The food was ok, I had a steak and asked it to be cooked medium/well. When I received the steak it was not even cooked medium. The staff were also friendly but when we paid the bill we left a 10% tip, the staff were very quick to say that was not enough even though my meal was not cooked correctly and the prices are very high. Overall it was ok, not what I was expecting after reading other reviews

We ordered different dishes to share, and the food was quite good with an interesting wine selection. The service was excellent with lovely waitstaff. I just wish the music had not been so loud as we had to shout to hear each other.

We made the "room for two" reservation on Friday 16:30. A nonstandard dinner time. Nevertheless, the table we got and the special room atmosphere made our dinner one to remember. The red wine was great, as well as the appitizer and main course.Highly recommended place if cost is not an issue.

We've been to numerous Spanish restaurants and tapas bars both in the US and in Spain. This was the best Spanish food I've ever had. Fresh ingridients and creative culinary approach with a middle-eastern touch, all contributed to an excellent gastronomic experience. This is a family owned and run place and the that staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I'd also add that the portions are quite generous (substantially larger than traditional bite-size tapas). Will definitely be back!

I have been visiting this place for almost 50 years.Lately we have been there twice and decided to give up. Service is changing quite often and not really proffessional.Food quality not as before. Fish stuffed head was not tasty, laying in oily tasteless soup like liquid, not coagulated as before. The essential "crein" did not come till you ask for.Borsht OXENSWANZ soop was good, but the essential cream was missing till you order it separately.The high score of this Bar is due to former times.

Thank you very much to our awesome bartender, Joe, friendly and professional! Great craft beer, brewed in-house, especially Smoked Stout, Weissbier and Belgian. Scrumptious, tender, flavorful beef stew and unique, 5-star eggplant & walnut appetizer. (Kitchen was glad to substitute rice for mashed potatoes to accommodate dietary restrictions.)Hipster vibe...but Libira is welcoming to guests of all ages.Extremely highly recommended!!!

We've visited Raffaello for a family dinner, everything was just disappointing about our visit, the service was slow, some finished the meal before others received the order, some cancelled after waiting for around 50 minutes, waiters climbed over our heads to reach the wine shelves, in the end we've got the orders mixed up. The pasta was under-cooked (not al-dente).

whenever you enter to the small patio, before enetering the restaurant, you fill the athmosphere changes. When you walk in, you already fill within a different world.The well designed, look, service, and approach are so well fited together.Nothing to say about the food - every dish is great. every choice is an option.We came twice this week...and we will come more of course...
