I really wanted to like this place. Tradition meets intimate in a beautiful little setting that makes you feel like you are back in Italy, even though it is cold and snowy outside! Just down the road from the back of Helsinki Cathedral. It’s hard to put my finger on what is wrong though with the meal, as it was just a bit off somehow. We have gone two times and both meals just didn’t quite hit the mark. The escargot tasted almost like it was sitting at the bottom of the can for a while and just a bit off. The tortellini al realpini was a bit disappointing and a bit too creamy sadly. The Gnocchi al Salmone were not true gnocchi :( On our second visit I had the Pollo al Chèvre which was admittedly much better but still just a bit off in some way! We will try again once more and maybe we will find what all the buzz is about. Maybe we haven’t found«our dish» yet. Fingers crossed!

Solid Italian food, nice wine, good prices, and awesome service. The risotto is great! Look beyond the tacky interiors and you’ll be happy you came.
