Ambience & Decoration – Harmony in Every Detail
Pasta Autentica not only values taste, but also the eye. The entire interior, from the bar-like seating in the front area to the discreetly placed flowers, exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere. The lamps, fine tableware, and candles in particular create an ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home.
Our Lunch
To start, we chose Parma Burrata (15.50 €), a delicious combination of Parma, bresaola and creamy burrata, served with fresh bread. All the components of the dish were fresh and perfectly matched each other. Since we love burrata, this was the perfect starter for two – an absolute recommendation! For the main course, the Ravioli con Salmone (18 €) was impressive with its delicate salmon filling and exquisite pistachio butter. The Pasta al Limone (17 €) was also a delight, even if the pasta was a bit softer than expected. But the taste of lemon and basil provided a refreshing note that rounded out the dish.
A Little Note About the Price
Although the prices are a little higher, they reflect the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Of course, we know that restaurants in this area can be a bit more expensive in general. In return, however, we can say that you also get a decent meal at Pasta Autentica by Jill. We were also both satiated for quite a long time afterwards.
Verdict
Pasta Autentica by Jill is a must for any pasta lover. The experience, combined with the taste, makes every visit unforgettable. Make reservations in advance because this little restaurant gets booked up fast!
