My friend and I went there for lunch because it was just around the corner from her place. She always found it lively and welcoming, specially because they shout their greetings when you enter. We weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was lively and and nice. Our orders came within a reasonable time and they were delicious. We had the beef carpaccio and the takoyaki, although on hindsight, we should have ordered more. Definitely will come back.
