Food: Sensational flavors but small portions
Hippo's creations are a testament to culinary innovation with the butternut squash cappellacci and prosciutto with burrata leading the symphony of taste. The freshness of handmade pasta often draws praise but they might fail when it comes to convincing your stomach. Portions are disappointingly small, so plan to buy rich on this experience.

Okay Taste
Some found the food enjoyable yet underwhelming, lacking a memorable factor.
Bad Value
Portions small, prices high, overpriced with pretentious vibe criticized.

Perks: Problematic parking sours smooth reservations

Outdoor seating gets mixed reviews and the service, unfortunately, often stands out for its sluggishness.
