By far one of the most authentic Italian dining experience I've had in Lebanon. There is a certain warmth here that you feel in a trattoria in the Italian countryside or a coastal town. The surrounding of the old souk certainly adds to this warmth and charm.
The food is prepared with a lot of care and thoughtthe flavours are amazing! Has all kinds of options whether you're here for a big, hearty meal or a quick bite. And you should definitely end it all with some amazing Vergnano coffee and homemade ice-cream sorbet (my favourite is mango!). The tiramisù and ricotta are also to die for!!
Just wanna chill at the bar? Aperitivo and happy hour? They got that covered too! They have an extensive list of cocktails and drinks, paired with a happy hour nibbles menu. There's also a grand collection premium whiskeys, if you like burning cash ;)
The staff are warm and friendly. Managers are quite attentive. Service is excellent. Music is amazing, courtesy in-house DJ. It's a place where you immediately feel at ease.
And if you're nice, you might also be served some homemade limoncello ;)
Great music Great selection of whiskey. The guys are very passionate about cocktails SUPER ONES . Charbel and Elie are the best. Food is super and the staff are very friendly. Located in the the old souq. Do not miss it
Very nice atmosphere. Great food . Nice service.
Wonderful and amazingly personal service from Charbel and Massoud at the bar. The outdoors seated area is super cosy. It is however too bad that the management does not apply the indoors smoking ban. With a little more attention to this aspect this would easily be a 5 stars rating. I feel bad for the employees having to breath through the smoke to earn a decent living. You can do it baritalia. Please put the effort to turn this I to a prime location.
I love the raw simplicity in the food and the drinks are very well done.
My God what a place I couldn't believe cocktails, scotches and the beer variety especially the Guinness in Lebanon???? Highly recommended when visiting!!!
Great place good food but the music is awful
Favorite place in byblos!
Cozy italian resto, good service, delious food. We ordered: patate con olio tartufato e grana (delicious french fries with parmesan cheese on top), pollo arrotolato (delicious secondi chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella cheese and wrapped with parma ham, prosciuto crudo pizza average not the delicious parma ham I used to eat). In overall it is a nice place you must try it.
Tried it for the first time and loved it
Great place with excellent bar selection especially whiskey and Malt lover. The owner is very friendly. Food quality is not consistent but overall good. I recommend the veau blanc dish.
Service is friendly but not always professional on time and approach.
In my opinion one of the best places to visit when in Byblos.
It 's nice to discover those hidden gems and to be pleasently surprised!
Tucked in the end of the restaurants gathering in the old souks, don't stay outside, open that big wooden door and enter to be disconnected from the hustle of the souks, what a beautiful decoration of the outlet, the brown leather used for the menus, in the bathrooms and even as a bow tie for the waiters! the place is charming.
Coming to the menu it has everything to please, the olive and thym bread basket so fresh and smells like heaven along with the cherry tomato with basil have everything needed to open your appetite! we were plesantly served by Charbel who really enhanced the experience and is very knowledgable of the menu: we had the salmon bruschettas and the marinated seafood salad: generous protions and real taste of fresh high quality ingredients! Just one comment, the small portion of goat cheese on the side could have been given as complimentary it was not a huge quantity to be charged!
A must try and would come back to try the night ambiance.
The place is very beautiful, I've been there 3 times the food is amazing except that the waitress was so rude in my last visit!
Very tasty food and a romantic place
Very nice romantic place plus the wine is great
Great evening here
