    The staff here is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. The food is prepared with such care, and you can taste the thoughtfulness in every bite. Many of the ingredients come straight from their own garden, which you can see from your table nestled in the midst of beautiful foliage and flowers. We tried the Amalfi wholemeal pasta, fettuccine Bolognese, and the octopus appetizer, and everything was absolutely delicious. Make sure to try the limoncello spritzer—it's a real treat. This place is a hidden gem. Don't just walk by; go in and thank your taste buds later.

    I booked this restaurant at the last minute, not realising how good it was. The food, service and drinks were all excellent. Try the spritz made from their own mandarins, very good indeed.

    First, the service was very welcoming and attentive. Second, the ambience is amazing in the garden area. It is off the street, quiet, and had a nice breeze. Finally, all of the food we had was well prepared and presented. We had an amazing evening and would go back again.

    The food was delicious, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The staff were welcoming and attentive without hurrying us and the gardens that the restaurant is set in are delightful.

    Super enthusiastic friendly and engaging staff. The weather was poor so we couldn’t enjoy the delightful garden, but inside had a cosy atmosphere. Food varied across the menu. The antipasti, primi and pasta were good, secondi generous of average quality. Overall, an enjoyable experience but choose carefully from the menu.

    The staff was so friendly and fun! We were celebrating my husbands birthday and they surprised us with a tira misu with a candle and all sang happy birthday to him. It was an exceptional experience

    Gentile ospite mi dispiace aver letto della vostra opinione sui prezzi del nostro ristorante. Ma credo che ci sia differenza tra un locale caro ed invece un locale costoso……. Noi stiamo lavorando da tanti anni per essere un ristorante costoso…Mancia esclusa!!!

    Our best meal in Italy. My family and I will remember this meal and experience forever. Fresh clams, sea bass, and eggplant. Afterwards, because we were interested, the owner gave us a tour of their herb / vegetable garden and mandarin orchard. Very personal. We’ll recommend and return!

    Guided to 86 bistro by reviews on the Fork and we’re not disappointed. We chose the taster menu, 7 courses for €60. Wait staff very friendly and helpful and service at a good pace over the meal. All items beautifully presented and very tasty. Seafood based and delicious. We chose a nice crisp white wine which was a perfect match and was kept well chilled in a cooler next to our table. The restaurant was not busy I think as end of season and tucked down a quieter street. Nice music played, not too loud which was just to our taste. Would recommend.

    They grow their own vegetables in the back! Calm and quiet - away from the throngs of tourists.

    Very good restaurant. We had dinner at an early sitting, so it wasn’t busy initially, but gradually became busier. Service was very friendly and helpful, with menus and wine list explained where needed. Food was very good: well presented and reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

    So disappointed. My main came but not my wife’s only to be told it wasn’t for me. Wife’s main came followed by mine 10 mins later. They realises they had messed up and gave up on us. No apologies and presented with full bill looking for a tip!! Made a fuss about the complimentary lemoncelo, as if this would make up. Something everyone gets after a meal!!

    Complicated menu. Poor service. Inedible main course. Please avoid as trying to be something that is not straightforward for tge sake of it.
