A nice local place with good Italian food, a bit pricy though.

We enjoyed the fresh pasta and risotto. The pasta with pesto came out cold, but it was tasty. All the other dishes arrived hot and were really delicious. Our server was excellent.

The food, ambience and service were all outstanding! The tagliarini with prawns and truffles was the best pasta dish I’ve had so far in Italy. The restaurant is beautiful and everything about the evening was great.

We really like this restaurant’s food but did they have to have American pop music so loud we had to ask that the volume be lowered?

Great atmosphere, soft music , great decor. I don’t think the pictures really give it justice. Food was amazing, with local flavours. Disappointed to see the table next to me ordering spaghetti bolognese. Dear fellow customers please look at the menu and choose! I just want to highlight that the waiter was very considerate about my allergies. He double and triple checked which I appreciated. I’ll be back 😊

Very good service, both waitress and maitre de salle were very nice and friendly, the food was abundant and good quality. We have been allowed a discount because we didn't like the dessert. Really appreciated and we are likely to come back

We had the octupus, seafood lasagna and pasta with pesto accompanied with a regional wine. Everything was delicious and had a beautiful presentation.

Food was good, but no extra taste or special herbs etc. had to add salt/ oil - atmosphere is nice, but ventilation & air con did not work well. Overall good but not the exception we expected

Expensive small portion restaurants are expected to offer a very tasty and sophisticated food. It is not the case, the food is common. But expensive and small portions.

From moment we walked in the host was rude. Didn’t believe we had reservation. Restaurant empty I did tell him the name of the hotel that recommended his restaurant I Asked to sit at table where we could view chef working was told emphatically NO. You sit at this table. I ordered Gnocchi with shrimp. Gnocchi was grossly over cooked to point of being soft and gummy. Shrimp was way over cooked also and the sauce it all sat in tasted like sea water Only 3 shrimp in whole dish A young woman came by and could see I had not eaten my dish. She said the chef wanted to know if I liked the dish. I had to say no. She picked up my plate and left. When our server came I politely asked for our check in Italian. He cleared my husbands place and went away. In the meantime only 1 other table became occupied. Table we wanted still empty Now we wait 15 minutes with empty table no more service and no check. The young woman passes I ask politely again for check. Again we wait at least enter 5 minutes Meanwhile the hist is sitting less than 5 feet from us ignoring us the whole time Please don’t waste your time here too nany other restaurants to choose from No one should be treated like this by anyone! I tried but couldn’t eat it. A young woman came by

The cutlery seemed poorly cleaned and the portion of the pasta was very little for the price, even though it was good. The tiramisu was average

We had really tasty & delicious food. The restaurant has sousterrain seating so it can host more people than it looks. The waiters were very nice but with limited English. The place would be ideal if it also had an outdoor seating area for good weather days. Overall we would definitely go back for the amazing quality of food.

We had dinner here with our kids and some friends. Very attractive little restaurant with an elegant set up, but not over the top. Professional and friendly service. Very well prepared dishes, well presented and use of quality ingredients. The fritto misto was nice, but perhaps slightly dry and (squid) chewy. But tasty in any case
