Locale moderno con pizze e hamburger di qualità. Molto buona la pizza che ho mangiato, le mie amiche invece hanno optato per hamburger, tutto molto buono e con prezzi onesti. Antipasto con patatine fritte da fare assolutamente, ci sono vari condimenti con cui poterle mangiare. Personale gentile e disponibile, un po’ lunga l’attesa per i piatti considerando che era anche un giorno infrasettimanale e non c’era quasi nessuno ma comunque vale la pena perché è veramente buono!

Avevo già provato la pizza di questo locale sotto pandemia e purtroppo, l'avevo promossa con riserva in quanto arrivò fredda tramite JustEat. Mangiandola appena sfornata, la musica cambia del tutto. Pizza eccellente, impasto tipo "napoletana" leggero e condimenti buoni e fantasiosi. Antipasti e dolci belli da vedere ed assolutamente ottimi come gusto. Forse a Rieti la miglior pizza napoletana che ho mangiato, come gusto, impasto e digeribilità. Assolutamente consigliato!

Location molto bella e curata nei minimi dettagli. Personale gentile. Il cibo è molto buono, tra i fritti consiglio il tonnarello che è spettacolare con la panatura croccante. La pozza con la porchetta era eccezionale. Un po' delusa per i dolci in quanto i savoiardi del tiramisù erano troppo zuppi di caffe, ma un tocco particolare è qualche cristallo di sale sopra che cresce un contrasto che mi ha colpito. Parlano molto bene delle spade sia di carne che di pesce sarebbero da provare. Rapporto qualità/prezzo: buono.

THE SOUND PLACE

Materie prima di qualità ottima e preparate ad arte,pizza e hamburger eccellenti,anche tutto il resto del menú è assolutamente da provare. Hanno anche un ampia selezione di birre e vini e degli ottimi barman per quanto riguarda tutta la sezione dei drink che si possono consumare sia al tavolo che al banco. personale molto cortese,preparato e rapido,il tutto in una location che all'interno ha un design veramente particolare e unico,come del resto i tavoli esterni che affacciano sull'argine del fiume velino che è uno degli scorci più caratteristici di Rieti. Consigliatissimo

Gio Di Benedetto

Cibo ottimo, personale a dir poco gentilissimo. Se siete a Rieti e volete mangiare qualcosa di veloce in riva al fiume è il posto giusto. Atmosfera tranquilla.

Tendenzialmente

Gosh, situato sul lungo fiume di Rieti, è noto per la sua atmosfera giovanile. La qualità del cibo è buona, con pizze notevoli e fritti che non deludono. Tuttavia, la mia principale osservazione riguarda il prezzo, che appare un po' elevato considerando l'offerta complessiva. Il servizio, spesso lento e a tratti poco cordiale, contribuisce a rendere l'esperienza meno convincente.
