PEOPLE'S FAVORITE RESTAURANT

We arrived in Labuan Bajo in 2013 with the simple concept of offering true and authentic Italian cuisine prepared just like grandmother would make it.

We decided to open here in Ruteng to also introduce our cuisine to the local community here.

Simple design, a mix of wood with sky-blue toned decorations to follow our color scheme. Set up like typical Italian trattorias.

Italian owners, Neapolitan Chef, typical Italian atmosphere, and authentic flavors make this a real Italian corner.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Customer & Local Guide

Authentic Italian taste here. I always have lunch or dinner whenever in the area. Tonight we enjoyed an “aglio oliò” spaghetti and “prosciutto” pizza. Simply delicious. Fast and friendly service.

Kathy Cox

Customer

We arrived so hungry and tired, found this place and wow! It’s some of the most amazing pizza I’ve ever had! I got the special that night which had salami and black olives on the pizza and a few days later we ordered the Margherita pizza and very good too! Strange but order the French fries 👌🏼 they are delicious!

The best pizza of Labuan Bajo, very kind crew and also other italian dishes are great! I would recommand a reservation because there will be a waiting line in front of the restaurant.
