9/10The restaurant was excellent, and the food was delicious. The sommelier was friendly and provided excellent wine pairings for the different courses, while sticking with local vintages. The only reason I cannot give this restaurant a higher rating is because the waiter who served my dishes had horrible body odor - it was nauseating and made me completely lose my appetite.

5/10Such a waste of an evening. Service was excellent. Food was just bad. Bad. Overdone overdressed. Overstated.

9/10The staff was nice. The food is authentic pulian food.I think some of the dishes are too simple for a michelin star restaurant, like the eggplant appetizer was nothing special, the dessert with riccotta.Other dishes were amazing-the beef and the duck breast.At all the experience was good.

8.5/10Presentation of the dishes and the ambiance were excellent. I liked that there were several options for tasting menus, in addition to the a la carte menu. The service was outstanding, the staff was welcoming and warm. We were one of the last tables left and as it was getting late, our server arranged a complimentary tuk tuk ride back down the hill to where we had parked our car, which was a nice touch.

10/10The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. We did one of the tasting menus, and would definitely recommend it (though it was a touch long at 3 hours, it was a great experience!). The chef was incredibly creative in his dishes, but the food still felt authentic to the region. The whole evening was delightful.

4.5/10The food was bland & unseasoned. Very disappointing meal considering the cost. The wine pairing was mismatched. And there was no ambience. It felt like everyone was scared to talk. The service was very good though.

8.5/10The food was excellent. There was a balanced mix of creativeness and tradition. I really enjoyed the view as the wall towards the sea/terrace was built from glass. I would have enjoyed a little more attention from the servoce staff, jut all in all wehad quite some with them too :) very funny and knowledgeable people.

10/10Beautiful ambience and wonderfully crafted gastronomic food. The wait staff was spectacular and the manager, Giovanni was exceptional and passionate about his job. He speaks 8 languages and connects with his patrons beautifully. Highly recommended.

9.5/10Really excellent food and service. Pity so few diners there to enjoy it. It was Tuesday lunchtime I suppose.

4.5/10This restaurant was disappointing given that it was Michelin-starred. Service was lacking (it seemed like they were understaffed) and not every waiter was able to answer basic questions on the food and wine and top up glasses (with us ending up having to top up our own glasses for both water and wine). Food was even more of a disappointment as serving sizes were tiny and quality was lacking in terms of flavour and combinations of ingredients. Overall not a great experience, and we should have gone elsewhere.
