There seems to be a new staff and since then, the quality of Food and service went down. As a guest for more than 10 years this is very unfortunate. The location is still beautiful.

The location and ambiance are amazing. The forniture outside could be cuter. But I understand that with salty sea air, the forniture degrades quickly. The cocktail and wine are very good. The oysters and the frittura mista were amazing. The pasta, good but a bit too Al dente. The raw platter was mostly good, I found the shrimp not very fresh this time. The Chianina tartar was fresh but had too many tendons, so I assume it wasn’t made from beef filet. I would had appreciate a smaller portion, from a better meat cut. The octopus, was cooked to perfection but lacked on taste and the hard or spinach as side dish was just steamed without any seasoning. A little disappointing for the price, but thank to The Fork we got 30% discount on the food, and the owner reduced the bill for the Tartar. Thank to the service and ambiance, I would be going there again, but been more careful on the food choice.

Very good food but we had a reservation & waited outside the restaurant for quite awhile before being seated. Once served the waiters were really nice & accommodating. I felt like they were just understaffed not a fault for the slow service but then again it's Rome.
