At this fine addition to Karlsruhe's culinary scene, chef-patron Mario Aliberti fuses Italian cuisine with Asian influences. An appealing range of dishes is available: Lunchtime features reasonably priced set menus, plus a small selection from the evening menu. At dinnertime, there is a fine dining menu, an Italian menu and a sharing menu, as well as an extensive à la carte selection. Octopus cooked in black beer with ponzu beurre blanc and black garlic is a house classic. It is worth perusing the well-stocked wine list, too. The inviting modern interior exudes a distinctly loungey feel. In summer, head for the quiet terrace laid out right in front of the restaurant.
