Jeo sam ovdje dva puta u roku od tri dana. Super ukusna hrana i obilne porcije. Izvrsna usluga od vrlo ljubaznih domaćina.

Titolari gentilissimi, la proprietaria è anche la cuoca: eccezionale a dir poco! Cibo succulento, ingredienti selezionati, cucina prelibata e alla mano. Dosi più che abbondanti, servizio alla mano, ingredienti di prima scelta. Posto spazioso, adatto alle famiglie (c’è spazio per i passeggini). Parcheggio ampio e comodo. Si consiglia di avvisare telefonicamente (non c’è manu, pertanto volentieri si esaudiscono necessità particolari ma occorre indicare cosa si preferisce mangiare). Consigliatissimo!

Great service, fresh delicious food, honest prices, very clean place, huge parking.

Also das Essen war sehr lecker!! Es gab Wiener schnitzel mit Salat und Vorsuppe und Pommes/kroatische Kartoffeln. Das Essen war sehr viel und total liebevoll gestaltet u.a. mit gebratener Paprika, zwiebelringe, gebackener Käse etc. Lediglich das Ambiente ist nicht perfekt. Der Service und essen aber eine absolute Empfehlung!! Preislich ist es auch unschlagbar...haben zu viertel mit 6 Getränken alkoholfrei 53 € gezahlt. Also ich kann es echt nur empfehlen!!!

Wir waren Ende Dezember in dem Restaurant. Von außen war nicht zu erkennen, dass es offen hat. Das Lokal war so gut wie leer und wir wurden super freundlich empfangen. Die Speisenauswahl war nur sehr klein, doch die Köchin hat uns eine ganz tolle Platte gezaubert. Alles ganz frisch zubereitet. Wir konnten hören wie unser Schnitzel geklopft wurde und die Fritteuse gezischt hat. Der kleine Salat viel riesig aus,mit ganz viel Liebe zubereitet. Ich habe Naturschnitzel mit Zucchini bestellt und mein Freund ein Schnitzel. Die Köchin hat eine reichliche Platte gerichtet und wir konnten nicht einmal alles aufessen. Danach gab es noch eine Nachspeise aufs Haus. Wir fühlten uns sehr verwöhnt und kommen sicher wieder, auch wenn das Lokal eher wie ein leerer Raum wirkt. Die nette Bedienung gibt einem das Gefühl willkommen zu sein
