the food was art on a plate. we had each of the tasting menus, land and sea, and were thrilled with the whole experience. deserts from the pastry lab were exceptional. another star or two is not out of the question. A+, 11. a must try for serious foodies or those wanting a gastro romantic evening.

We were excited to come but quite disappointed at the experience - it's fine, no problems but it was very expensive for the food and service. The dishes were beautifully presented and we loved the bread tower, but the taste of the food was average only. We were grateful to be allowed to order one seafood and one meat degustation to share, but found the seafood one a bit bland. The service was fine but not friendly, there seemed to be a consistent "too cool" approach, no smiles/ response to waiting at the entry, no warmness though service was fine, nothing helpful or high quality. The dishes were generous in size, and the setting as beautiful outside but a bit strange having a public footpath straight through the middle and getting stared at by tourists while ate. The flavours on some dishes were mysterious, we couldn't taste many of the ingredients and they kept using the same condiments and decorative sauces in the dishes repeatedly. It's nice but very surprised they have a Michelin.

We had a wonderful dinner at il Buco! The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing. The chef walked around and it was very nice to see him talking with the guests and checking in on everyone.
