The staff were warm and welcoming and although the room was beautiful the atmosphere was not the least bit stuffy. What I did t expect was one of the best meals of my life. Everything I put in my mouth burst with flavor. It was clear there was an artist in the kitchen! One of the biggest surprises was being presented with what looked like a black chunk of Mount Etna volcanic rock - which turned out to be a light airy beignet filled with a warm mushroom soup and dusted in cocoa powder. This was not just a clever visual trick, it was also unbelievably delicious! A shrimp with truffle was sublime, the crusty lamb with raspberry gel and miniature crispy potatoes was as beautiful to eat as it was to look out. Oh and let’s not forget the tagliatelle with sea urchin- a tangle of buttery sea scented heaven. Desserts were off the charts good. A pistachio ice cream came with little bowls of cream, chocolate and strawberries to drizzle. And it was so reasonably priced!! Five brilliant stars!!

Beautiful local produce and very well thought out menu. Excellent service and lovely modern setting. Very fair prices. Clearly they are looking for a Michelin star. If I were to criticise, the execution was not always perfect. For example, our red snapper secondi was very slightly over cooked and by the time our primi arrived the vongole pasta emulsification had dried out a little so the pasta was a bit clumped. The vongole pasta could also have been more flavourful of the sea and I felt it was a little too subtle verging on bland. That being said, the menu was extremely ambitious - perhaps they could consider reducing the number of dishes and concentrate even more on impeccable delivery. I am saying this as an harsh critic and I would certainly still return any day of the week and recommend to anybody. But this would be the difference to get it to one star in my opinion. Overall it was absolutely lovely. Highlights were (appetiser) the local red shrimp with truffle, delivered to perfection and (primi) the asparagus pasta which was divine and tasted of springtime. The intermezzi - a kind of mushroom mousse ball deep fried in cacao was a brilliant take on an arancino and was rich, velvety and delicious with a nice crunch on the shell; and a black rice crisp with a kind of ricotta sorbet. The bread, olive oil and petit fours were also really wonderful.

Took the full degustation menu. Some items like the veal cheeks lacked consistency, some plates had big pieces and some small pieces. The oyster with blue Curacao did not taste good in my book. Dessert was a little disappointing. I expected a ricotta and pear cake, which is what was described, but essentially was given u rum baba which is not my favorite.

Never received any service and eventually walked out after waiting for 30 minutes to be waited. Looked like a nice place but never got to try the food.

Good is, for the level of should be, disappointing. No wow flavour combinations and generally bland. A dish with scampi had one scampi and a lot of Rice product. So don't call of scampi dish. Service was not very friendly. Would NOT go back as it is also not cheap
