History
In the KAFD financial center, an imposing district of contemporary architecture, this chic Italian lounge adds a touch of softness, with its subdued lighting, vocal jazz concerts and cuisine based on Mediterranean standards. The genre is quite exotic, with must-try antipasti and remarkably well-cooked pasta, al dente, in classic recipes : cacio e pepe, vongole, norma, not to mention a good selection of pizzas. Very friendly service.
