Behind an unassuming entrance, a true gem is hidden with an authentic Italian restaurant run by a nice couple serving a limited yet super well priced menu and some weekly specials. Quality and value for money guaranteed…. And you are fancy for a Jeux de Quilles (the Luxembourg bowling) guests can play it here for Free!!!! Check out the name has changed into Hippodrome Cafe….but this certainly more than a Cafe

Very nice little bar in Bonnevoie with casual atmosphere. We didn't eat here yet but we will check it out. Staff very polite. Good Italian wines at very reasonable prices.

Grazie ad Angelo per aver portato il suo spirito genuino da galantuomo qui in Lussemburgo. Un bar tra amici e vecchi amici dove sentirsi a casa. No yuppie e maquillage solo autenticità e uno degli ultimi jeu de quilles della città!!!!

Nothing fancy, but friendly and good. And a card players paradise on the right nights.

Petit bar proche de l'église de Bonnevoie. Il s'agit d'une gestion italienne : coté cuisine on a une petite carte avec le respect des plats préparés maison avec les produits frais, bref c'est de qualité. Il y a egalement un jeu de quilles.

Friendly and quiet cafe. Visited it with my girlfriend after a long train ride from Belgium. We were waiting for another restaurant nearby to open and needed a quick meal. Ordered two beers and a Cesar salad. Friendly bartender who did his best to help us even though we did not speak French or Italian and he did not speak much English. Best salad I have ever eaten. Came with freshly fried fries, beautifully cooked chicken and hot bread. €25 for all that, two beers and a desert? Great prices. Small bowling lane in the back and apparently this is the place for playing cards on certain nights. It doesn’t look like much, but good people and great food.
