Staff is super friendly, the street and surroundings very green and soothing. I ordered the fish soup and red beet gnocchi. Two simple dishes. First, the fish soup came out burnt with a big scampi that had its time a long while ago. It made my stomach turn immediately. Luckily the friendly staff noticed and asked what I wanted in return. I asked for a salad, which came with salmon, which was not too bad but again, with that taste of barbecue burn, and wet with olive oil. Perhaps German people like it that way but it killed all the fresh flavours of the product. Then came the gnocchi of red beet with mascarpone and walnut. It was interesting but oh so heavy, again swimming needlessly in oil and vinegar. The taste of the red beet was overshadowed by the big grated parmezan icing. I would recommend the chef to go easy on the oil, add herbs like sage or ruccola, lighten it up, not heavy it down with more cheese. I did have an interesting conversation about it with the host and got a free desert, a nice strawberry tiramisu made without coffee. The coffee I added myself. The menu does have some very nice grappas. All in all, I can recommend it but stay away from the fish.
