This is unique and a hidden Italian gem in a cozy Cyprus village of Pyrgos. Who would have known that it has the best pizza in Limassol? Or best lasagna in Cyprus?
The restaurant is located in the cozy street corner in the Pyrgos village, just 5 minutes drive from the highway. It has a huge wooden oven and an Italian looking chef.
The menu boasts a lot of dishes from the traditional Italian cuisine. There're plenty of pizza variations and pasta dishes. But I found it a bit disappointing that there were little or no entrees (no carpaccio, why?) or desserts (tiramisu, anybody?).
Personally, I prefer classic prosciutto and funghi pizza and lasagna. It's more than enough to stop you from dreaming of flying to Italy. Pizza is thin and tastes the same as in Napoli. Lasagna on par or better than in Rome.
The portions are generously Italian and will serve two people each. They are also quite inexpensive, too. Hurray!
The score: taste 9/10, value 9/10, coziness 8/10
