When I arrived in the evening, the restaurant was fully booked. On passing by the next day the owner invited me in, offering coffee and a tour, to apologize for not being able to accommodate me the evening before. Small gesture with a big heart.

Overall excellent authentic Italian restaurant and we def will be going back. The owner is nuts! Such a nice guy and the food was outstanding. The crockery was odds and sods and the wine was first class.

It has now been three times (Respectively with my parents, four friends and just me and one friend) that I have visited Alessandro at The Small and I am yet to be disappointed in any way. Frank, caring and entertaining service with big delicate portions of food. Everyone I have brought here agree upon that this makes it the perfect... More

This was a dining experience like no other, like the name suggests, a very small restaurant but full of atmosphere and charisma. I would happily return here everyday of the week.... More

On tripadvisor this restaurant already interested us. This afternoon we inquired for a table for tonite. Allessando let us know he only had a table for 3 available from 7 till 8pm. When we arrived we had a very personable service by allessando, had great food and a picture perfect wine to accompany that food selection. We are staying a... More

You get into "The Small" and you enter in a different dimension, very Italian and very much mirroring the character of its owner- Alessandro. Location in kitsch, unique and small; food is good (maybe not excellent), Italian and fresh; cost is average (40 euros). It is suggested a stop here to everybody that want to taste something different in a... More
