Entering the brightly lit room we were shown to a table next to the wall at the end of a row of tables, despite being the only customers. The first three wines I tried to order were ‘unavailable’ so we settled for a more expensive bottle than we really wanted to order due to lack of choice. Ceviche starter was good, the prawn in ‘zucchini’ is actually wrapped in cabbage but was well cooked. The Vongole was terrible. Not a shell in sight like the photo and just a few miserable bits of clam flesh cooked with over soft spaghetti (or maybe buccatini) but the other main, described as a ‘stew’ was initially a completely different dish which after some standing firm they agreed was wrong but then a piece of fish came 15 minutes later sat on some oven baked potatoes. All very odd but we just ate it and paid. Not a good experience.

Excellent as always! We came back after three years and the food is still fantastic. No menu — the waiter chooses for you — always a delicious surprise!

Our dinner was exactly what we wanted to have - fresh and light seafood. Our waiter was very helpful and we enjoyed the dishes he suggested for us. We look forward to our next visit!

Quite good, but not amazing. First of all the place is decorated too simple and it's located on -1 floor, so no good view for eternal city. Food is ok. Nice. No more. Staff is also ok. For normal dinner is ok. Not for the special one.

Quiet and refined with a nice selection of regular items and daily specials. The gnocchi with seafood and truffles was very delicious! Highly recommended!
