Wow! Just WOW!! We stumbled across this restaurant while visiting the nearby lighthouse. So happy we dropped in. The food was delicious, the service was terrific and the parking was free 😁 My wife had the tomato soup with a sandwich, I had the lasagna. Amazing!! They really put some thought and care into the meals they serve. After three days in Iceland this was the nicest meal we'd had so far. Don't miss it if you are nearby.

Absolutely gorgeous brunch place. Been several times now and it never disappoints. Lovely setting with great views. Recommend booking on a weekend, but have never had to wait for a table. Looking forward to trying the evening menu too.

I don’t even know where to start other than you must eat here while in Reykjavík. Traveling to Iceland then eating Italian sounds crazy but you will regret all of your life choices if you don’t. Order the “bread and dip.” It’s probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten. The building is adorable. The food is incredible. It’s difficult to not return here for every night of our stay.

Food & location were awesome! But the staff were just mediocre, not welcoming nor warm, which I find it too bad because everything was near perfect! Normally I always tip my server(s), but this was one of the few times I didn’t because the service was just ok… Food was delicious and came in quick, and the location was perfect and we saw Northern light right after dinner!
