I've certainly experienced better. Better food, better service, and better prices.
For food, I ordered the "cigars" for the starter. Pasta Norcina and Israeli Salad (I think), to drink I ordered tap water and mint tea.
I start with "tap water." They brought me out a large glass bottle labeled "still". I asked if it was tap water, they said: "No, it's still water." When I told them I didn't want still water, but tap water - water from out of the sink, they fixed the problem, thankfully. I will chalk it up to a misunderstanding, and not them wanting to have me pay for water.
Cigars (food, not tobacco product) were okay, although it would have been better if the dough was thinner, and the meat was softer and a touch more flavorful. On top of that, they are overpriced at four euro for two cigars.
Pasta was good. The sauce was pleasant, the pasta was cooked "al dente" (which works with this dish), but it was too long...which may work for spaghetti or angel hair, but not for this kind (the wide kind). Sausage in the dish was good in that it added the salty aspect to the dish. They were a little overcooked, but it seemed to work with the dish overall. While I liked that the portion was small (so you have room left over for the second course and onwards) but for how small the portion is, the price is 3 times higher than it should be.
The salad was worse. A scantily dressed collection of shredded lettuce and tomatoes... nothing exciting AT ALL, again, way overpriced.
Mint tea was the only thing with redeeming value. Good price good flavor... however I question the addition of Chickpeas, and would like it a touch less sweet.
Service was not so much as slow, but inconsistent. Cigars came out fast, pasta took a while, salad came after pasta (not before) and bread came after the appetizer. No butter or oil with the bread.
Bread does come up on the bill, but that is, according to them a service charge, as some restaurant have.
