Unfortunately a textbook tourist trap. I spent around €45 on two dishes and wasn’t even close to being full. Portions are absurdly small, more like amuse-bouche than actual dishes. The “focaccia” for €25 is just a small piece of bread with minimal topping – nicely presented, but far from a real meal. The tuna for €28 was decent in quality, but again extremely small. The menu is misleading: items like “sandwich” or “fried fish” suggest something hearty, but what you get are tiny, over-interpreted versions. The staff was friendly and clearly trying, but the issue is obviously structural – and they seem to know it. The TheFork discount feels like bait. Overall: lots of presentation, very little substance, and heavily overpriced. Not recommended.
L'Arco dei CappucciniWe understand that our cuisine may not meet the expectations of those looking for large, filling portions at low prices. Our concept is quite the opposite: we focus on high-quality ingredients, refined preparation, and a true dining experience rather than quantity. Defining us as a “tourist trap” is frankly unfair and says more about a mismatch of expectations than about the reality of our restaurant. Our menu is clearly presented, and many of our guests appreciate exactly what you criticize: attention to detail, balance, and a different interpretation of traditional dishes. We are glad you found our staff friendly — they work hard every day to offer a genuine experience, not a “trap.” We wish you the best in finding a place more aligned with your expectations.

I did not get the 30% discount that was promised when I booked this.

The food was awful and barely edible. Calamari dishes were like eating rubber. Raw salmon and tuna, although fresh, were made with very low grade parts of the fish. Everything was very salty. To sum up, a bad experience!

The waitress was superb. The menu was different from others we’ve seen and I didn’t find anything I wanted to order, so the waitress suggested the special pasta with olive oil and parmesan , just simple, and it was good. The tiramisu in a jar was weird. It was constant motorcycles roaring up and down the street because the restaurant is outside the walls where bikes park. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Poor choice of badly prepared brown food. It was still too expensive even with 30% discount. Some other customers walked out.

Upon our arrival, we were offered a table near the kitchen entrance, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We had to insist on the better table before they gave it to us. It took them half an hour before taking our initial order for wine and appetizers The two appetizers we ordered, where cauliflower and calamari Both were awful The cauliflower dish was a pre-blended paste out of cauliflower, which was tasteless and calamari was overcooked and came without a sauce It took nearly 40 minutes and two request from us before they produce the final check

The food was nice, but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is cute, in a calm alley. Service was great.

Beautiful restaurant outside all the rivers of people, just a couple of meters up the entrance of old town. The food was amazing. Hard to define wich dish was better, but the winner was the ravioli, snapper in almond crust was very good too.
