Locale piccolo ma molto carino ed accogliente. Abbiamo mangiato fuori con splendida vista sulle scalette dell’acquedotto (uno degli scorci più belli di Perugia). Cibo buonissimo, tutto a forma di polpette. Abbiamo preso polpette cacio e pepe e piselli e ragù (la foto l’ho fatta troppo tardi) e polpette di melanzane, ottime accompagnate dalla torta al testo per l’obbligatoria scarpetta. Per dolce polpette di tiramisù e torta caprese, tutto buonissimo. Personale davvero cordiale e gentile. Tornerò a provare altre polpette

Very good tiny polpette eatery close to the scenic aqueduct path. I had the eggplant polpette and it tasted good! The service is quick and the prices alright. I did not like the 2 euro for "coperto" (it's something you get added only in Italy) and there were 4 smallish polpette in my salad. I'd rather pay 2/3 euro extra and have a couple more polpette in the salad, because the food quality is good and the service is quick. Just a suggestion.

I came here by chance, when I was walking around, just to have a campari soda. I am here for two hours I was not very hungry so was offered some fish balls. Yummy. Service and atmosphere is so good. Price / quality is more than perfect

Scrumptious! The restaurant was the only one that was nearby in the area we were in. As we went into the restaurant we get welcomed by a very friendly staff and ordering a ceaser salad and polpette. As these meals were very familiar to us we already knew how they would taste and didn’t expect much. But as we got our plates and tasted the dishes we were all shocked at how good these were. It was tasty, innovative, creative and underrated for what it had to offer. There is nothing more to say these dishes where scrumptious.
