In short the place has character and it is filled with personal touches, like the Elvis doll that looks down at you from above the window. Such a place makes you feel as if you are eating in the home of someone who takes a lot of interest in interior decoration.

At the back of the cafe is an open kitchen where the owner prepares your meal. You can get everything from pasta dishes to warm mozzarella filled focaccias.
