AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the Crafen alla crema e marmellata, a dish that embodies the restaurant’s warm, rustic charm. The vibe is cozy and comforting, with every bite feeling like a heartfelt embrace.
“These crafen are like big, puffy, sugar-dusted doughnuts — the classic ones are filled with cream and apricot jam. They cost €1.50 each. The jam is industrial but still good, and they're warm, full of sugar, and have that old-school Roman vibe. They're all fried a bit randomly, but they're delicious. I'm a harsh critic — I went to Demel in Vienna and complained about paying €5 — but these make me happy.”
