10/10Found it on Trip Adviser and thought we would try. It’s away from the pedestrian street restaurants and a little out of the way but really good. Would definitely recommend.

10/10Great hospitality, food and wine thank you. Between us we had two pasta dishes; one spaghetti with crab and tomato, and one with truffle and beef tartare. Both delicious. Followed by two mains; the veal and porcini, and the monk fish with Parmesan, again delicious as was the desert we shared. The Primitivio was excellent and good value. Ambience was great. Well recommended. Thank you.

7/10Nice environment but underwhelmed by the food quality given its price tag. Went with my partner for diner. We ordered 4 main dishes. -Octopus; felt unwashed, full of sand, every bite was a grind. -The raw scampi were underseasoned. -the truffle pasta were a success, flavorful. -the cavatelli were not to my taste, i will remain neutral and put in on subjective opinion. -After my comment on the uneatable octopus, they offered the puffy creamy dessert. Overall disappointed given the 100+Euros bill (with bottle of wine and sparkling water)

7.5/10Lovely place with, a nice environment and design. Service a bit too much on customers, pressing to order and the worst was I received the bill before I asked for it and with still half a bottle of wine, it may be Una tamtum thing... Apart from this I recommend it.

9.5/10The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with beautifully draped tables and correct atmospheric lighting (something many Italians don’t seem to understand). The food was truly excellent and very fairly priced. While the service is highly professional, no one would call it warm or welcoming. Still, this is a very minor issue when the rest of the experience is so stellar! Bravo.

10/10Delicious food, variety of choice of meat and fresh seafood dishes, big portions and served on fancy plates, great friendly service, warm, cosy and chic atmosphere, great wine. Definitely worth recommending. Advisable to book a table at least a day in advance. We also got a 20% discount from booking a table via Tripadvisor.

7.5/10The place was nice and food was good. Service was Ok, but a little bit unpersonal. I did’nt like backround music, it was more muzak than music.

2.5/10We arrived on time for our reservation. We were seated and waited about 10 minutes before someone came to take our order. We ordered wine, appetizers, and entrees. My appetizer came promptly. My wife ordered oysters. They brought the wrong appetizer and said her oysters would take a few minutes. 45 minutes later she still had not received the oysters. We were told a few more minutes again. Then they brought her entree. At that point I requested the check, paid, and left the restaurant. I’ve never, ever done that before. No one from management even bothered to came and say they were sorry. Very sad!

it’s all true, wunfortunately language difference did not help communication, we are very sorry, we didn’t understand each other, you arrived in advance, before the opening of the restaurant, you were the first customers to enter, and the load of fresh fish arrived late,it wasn't our fault, an accident on the road can happen, this happened does not change the high quality and good service of the Opera restaurant.

10/10Opera is a dining delight that stands out for its beautiful ambiance and exquisite cuisine. The moment you step into the restaurant, you're greeted by an elegantly designed space that sets the stage for a memorable meal. The environment is not just beautiful but also incredibly welcoming, making you feel at ease. The real star of Opera, however, is the food. Each dish is a testament to freshness and culinary precision, crafted with the finest ingredients to ensure every bite is as flavorful as it is visually appealing. The attention to detail in the presentation of the food matches the refined environment of the restaurant. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual meal out, Opera provides a dining experience that is both delightful and unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for top-notch food in a stunning setting.

10/10Elegant restaurant with imaginative food—not too far from traditional dishes, but original in a winning way. Wine list was good and reasonable, servers were efficient and friendly, entire experience was enjoyable.
