I ordered Seafood Rigatoni and Spaghetti Alla Vongole. First of all, the taste of the food was excellent and I could taste the taste of the seafood. It was an excellent taste that would not be out of place anywhere. And the beautiful view was also captivating. If you have someone you like, I highly recommend you to eat here together.
Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere and delicious food. A variety of menus to enjoy at reasonable prices. Best of all, the amount of food was just right. Pancakes are on the brunch menu. Will definitely come back for brunch.
If you want to see the most untalented, uneducated, impolite staff, go to La Gioia Ankara. I believe they selected their staff based on rudeness; the ruder, the better philosophy. I had made a reservation for our anniversary, but they simply FORGOT!!!!! They also dropped the crockery in front of customers, not just us, unless they had big shopping bags of Beymen! Food was lower than normal quality and everything was overpriced. Will I go there again? Not even if they give me a million dollars! IT WAS LITERALLY THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN AMONGST 500+ I HAVE SEEN WORLDWIDE.
It was a nice spot to sit and have your mid day coffee or lunch , I tried the burrata which is my favorite salad , it was not bad but could be better
