We went with some friends last Saturday.
It was 8:30 pm and there wasn't anybody there. We went into the local and we asked for a free table. 'All reserved'- said the nice nice owner. 'We were waiting for the miracle'- I answered. We all laughed sadly and left Petra. We ended eating in Tasca i vins... Ok, but imcomparable.
I knew that all the tables were booked. It's really difficult to find a place there if you don't make a reservation. so don't try, because you will be left disappointed.
Anyway, we had time enough to take a look inside: glass and lead panelling, cute lights, walls covered with small, coloured tiles, old, wooden chairs, mirrors, antique furniture and modernist style elements.
The firts time I had dinner there I liked the unpretensious food, but served delicatelly, really tasty, and with a touch of creativity; the funny, decorative elements and the extraordinary service.
You can have a salad for 5 €, or a main course for 7-8 €.
I reccomend you to try different dishes and don't forget about the desserts.
