This restuarant is a new addition to PE airport, replacing. It is perfectly situated next to the security gates in the departure hall to have a last minute snack with friends and relatives before boarding the flight. The menu is fully halaal and includes pizzas, pasta and toasted and open sandwiches. Had the toasted chicken ceaser tremazinni which was delicious! Toilets are nearby and the irport has prayer facilities.

According to staff they open from 5am but cannot serve customers until the manager arrives. So while the rest of the staff arrive for work before 5am, the manager arrives when she wants to!!! Today was 5.50am, I commend the regular staff for their loyalty and diligence, preparing the restaurant for customers and their polite apologies to unhappy customers wanting ro be served. How is this allowed? What kind of example is the manager making to the rest of the staff? According to various staff this is every day!!!! I have tried bringing this to the attention of HO but emails are returned.

We were served three chicken pizzas with off chicken, one of which was obviously off. We sent one back and foolishly ate the other two (and encountered funny tasting pieces part way through) and are waiting to see if we got food poisoning. Service was not terrible but not outstanding. Food is pricey. For the money they charge fresh ingredients should not be difficult, even if you must use frozen, if it's actually off, don't serve it. Leaving this review to encourage the restaurant to change their ways, and as a warning to others that eating here is risky.

Food was nice. I enjoyed. Service was a bit slow as there was only one waiter taking orders per side.

Excellent service by the waiter with the round eye glasses. She prepared the muesli yogurt bowl to perfection. Her service was outstanding (I have forgotten this amazing waiters name).

Great decor, nice vibe, slow service. The spaghetti I had was probably top 5 one of the blandest meals I ever had. I ended up eating some of my mom's food - chicken ciabatta and they were out of fish completely as I originally ordered hake and chips. How do you run out of fish on the coast? I had four sad pieces of spinach in my plate. There was supposed to be salty strong Italian cheese, but I couldn't even pick it up. Waste of money.
