10/10Lovely place and delicious food. We were a family of 4 with two young children and we were treated with respect, all staff were very friendly and we had a lovely table upstairs. Lovely atmosphere that made us thinking that we were on a date night. We had the half lobster and prawn pasta (delicious) and the duck tortellini and both were great. Don’t forget to try the tiramisu and the chocolate soufflé.

9.5/10Amazing restaurant, with great food and staff. Only minor criticism was the table being in the main thoroughfare was a little disturbing but didn’t impact the evening. Highly recommend

5/10If you are looking for tourtist trap definition, this is it. The waiter insisted for us to order the two dish of the day, one was a seafood pasta with lobster and the other a baked fish. At the end the seafood pasta we order had 1/2 of a small lobster but the price was double of the regular seafood pasta in the menu. Not to talk about how much we paid for the fish. On top of this, when we went to pay they told us the service was not included in the bill, totally unacceptable and not the norm in Europe. As a courtesy to the customer, they should disclose this at the beginning, not at the end.

7/10I had a seafood pasta, but the mussels tasted and smelled strange to me. I told the waiter about it, and he came out of the kitchen to say that the chef had checked and confirmed that it was okay. Perhaps the style was different from what I expected. At the end, one of the waiters brought me the bill and surprisingly reminded me about the service charge (tips) as a custom. I wasn't too comfortable with him asking for tips, as a proper restaurant usually doesn’t mention that to customers; it makes the staff seem desperate for money. I am certainly not naive, as I have been traveling around the world. In general , other dishes were fine and good. I was just disappointed about the seafood pasta.

5.5/10We attempted to order from the menu but were offered some suggestions by the head waiter. We felt completely bamboozled; he gave us no idea how much he would be charging for this menu suggestion, but it sounded very similar to the items on the menu. He even changed our wine to one he recommended and said it was around the same price. We ended up paying 366 Euros for 2 main meals, 2 deserts and 1 bottle of wine. We walked out feeling completely ripped off.

8/10The food and wine at this restaurant is excellent. Unfortunately we were disappointed by realizing the 20% food discount we were promised when we booked on TheFork was not honored. We arrived 15 minutes early so there was no question of being late. Despite that, when the bill arrived, the 20% discount was not applied. Unfortunately I didn’t realize the issue until we were leaving.

10/10Fantastic food and service. Tip is somewhat expected here when you pay and they ask. Just for those not used to tipping in Europe. Could be they asked because we were American. Still would come here again because food was so good.

7.5/10The outdoor balcony and food was amazing, I did feel like the staff could’ve been more polite and the bill was placed infront of us before asking for it (we had been at the restaurant for one hour) and there was tables around us so it wasn’t like the table was needed. We also paid 5€ each to sit outside so would’ve been nicer to stay a bit longer without feeling pushed to leave.

7.5/10The food was good. The service friendly and helpful. The only minor issue was the bread - it was some of the worst bread we’ve ever had in Italy, very dry and bland - even with oil & vinegar

8/10Good food and ambience, only thing is that you have a cover charge for even sitting inside which is quite pointless to be honest, it's more like a raid on the tourist. Also when I ordered a 2018 wine bottle , I was given a 2022 bottle, and when I asked was told the menu was not updated however I was charged the same price for the 2018 price, which any seasoned wine drinker would know is fleecing you. Avoid the wines here and go for the food which is very good.
