seems to be a new `place. as we went very early there was just 1 table busy. the food is overpriced for what it serves. we ordered steak were not even asked how it should be cooked. no sides and no sides were ask or offered. the starter was reheated, and the desert was industrial. even with 50% discount I didnt think it was justified. the service was good but when a group of people arrived we were completely ignored for 30min.

Besides other dishes which are below our expectation, the carbonara here is significantly below standard. I have no idea how this restaurant gets a 9.0 score.

Salve , siamo stati fin troppo cordiali nel farvi accomodare insieme ad un altro tavolo con prenotazione differente per farvi stare tra amici. E di certo si conferma che spesso il buonismo non paga. Sulla Carbonara basta leggere tutte le altre recensioni per dedurre che avete problemi di cultura culinaria. Vi consigliamo gli all you can eat (sicuramente di vostro livello)

Great food but so great service. Had to ask twice for water we ordered and long wait tonight order drinks and food. Good food should not be rushed but 2 hours for a two course lunch a little slow.

Good food but please shape it up. Only one third of the wines on the list was actually in stock. Paper menus handed out were really old and not fresh at all. Just with a little extra effort it could be a full point.

the menus and wine list are available from tonight in the freshest and most updated version..

Food was quick to be served - which made me question things. As the menu was explained to a couple sitting next to me, I learned that certain dishes are not served with freshly caught seafood but rather previously frozen, like the Octopus salad, among other things. The special of the day was lobster and linguine, which tasted average, but more importantly the lobster was really the size of a shrimp! Main point: not worth that value of €80 for a drink/meal, highly overpriced.

Found in the busy buzzy area of Santa Filomena. We all enjoyed our meal here. We had pasta dishes, raw fish, grilled swordfish tuna, grilled vegetables(a highlight) and a couple of salads. Service was attentive. Our friends liked it so much they went twice in one day!! Very good value with discount.
