"Here I wanted to go last Sunday, but fortunately on their Facebook page, I noticed that Sunday's rest day. But the website is so damn inviting that I couldn't expect to eat here anymore. The wooden wall shelves are lovingly filled with predominantly noble wines and various accessories, with tables for 2, 4 or 6 persons and a few high tables also made of rustic, varnished wood – but fortunately far from any IKEA ambience. I could get one of the high tables and much more was not free, because it was well visited. I love to sit a little elevated and so enjoy a good overview of the premises and other tables. I answered the first question about a drink as always with the request for the card. The fish soup lured me as well as the truffled pasta, but finally I decided alone for a lamb with herbal sauce (in the hope that an Italian will not serve the flour sweat usual in the Greek, with which it will suffocate the lamb). On the new question about a drink I asked back: “What do you have for wines?” “We have white or red wine” (I became somewhat impatient) “Yes, what red wine? “Chianti, Merlot, Montepulciano.” “OK, a glass of Montepulciano, please.” There was obviously no wine card. The wine quickly came in a very large, modern wine glass, generously gifted. With the cost of the wine I waited first in the hope of some bread, which then came about 10 minutes later together with 4 large, very excellent olives and some herbal cream. The (country )bread was nice pink, fresh and well baked, though not a la minute. The wine finally delighted me very, very neat for 5,50 € the glass! Fairly calculated here! After not too long, finally the lamb's carcase: on an oval plate about 240 grams (with bone), with some broccoli and a few halved carrots baked in the shell – the avized herbal sauce was fortunately not a sauce, but rather a jus, discreet with garlic and also the rosemary branches and sage lying on top of the lamb – very delicious. The lamb was optimally pink, totally juicy and seemed to have breathed an hour before better it is not really possible – a dream and worth every cent of its 26,90 €. I can't give the kitchen a full 5 stars because the broccoli was no longer bite-resistant, and the sea salt over the lamb was too generously distributed to me. Unfortunately, there are also points for the friendly service, because I had to wait too long for the bread and the wine presentation could have been more detailed. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Have just read that this Trattoria has been registered here 5 years ago, a shame that no one has written a post before me."
