Hello, hello Today, we had an incredible experience that I want to share with you. At the new Italian bar opened by Adela and her husband, we had a wonderful time! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, especially the tiramisu and lasagna. The cappuccino and special coffee were also extremely good. And the lemonade... wow, wow!!!! I encourage you to stop by if you want to enjoy an authentic Italian snack and delicious coffee in a friendly atmosphere!

A wonderful cozy place with authentic Italian service and food. It has fresh crispy croissants - cornetti - small and large, sweet and savoury filled with prochutto, mortadella, parma mozzarella or buratta and Italian roasted coffee to every taste. Their homemade focaccia with high quality olive oil is to die for!!! For yogurt and low-calorie lovers - homemade granola is your answer. One cannot have enough of Italian food!!!

This restaurant is a great experience for people who not only care about good food but also about an excellent atmosphere. They have a seasonal menu, you can choose between single courses or order an individual 3/4/5 course menu. Everything is home made. We loved the food, it was creative,everything was freshly prepared and the taste was excellent. Andrea and his wife are great hosts and made the evening a highlight. Makes you feel like being in Italy. My personal food highlight in den Haag. Prices are also fair for what you get

Lo Sfizio is one of my favorite places to meet a friend, work or hold an intimate event. The coffee is truly exceptional and the lunch and pastries - including Genova-style focaccia - are delicious. I can meet my Italian friends there and give them a true taste of home.
