The simplicity of crispy fries paired with a well-cooked and flavorful sausage is a winning combination by any measure.

Another of the classics that we manage to enjoy is the Tiptorella, a sandwich of sliced ​​bread with chicken, ham, cheese and tomato sauce, topped with a layer of melted mozarella cheese and accompanied by a generous portion of French fries.

Everything was fried to the perfect temperature, crispy where it should and soft and juicy where it belongs.
