8/10The lady that served me Matilda was sincere and full of passion and give good service. Restaurant does not have menu for those who is taking non alcoholic drinks and so they will make something to what they have .

7.5/10Beautiful venue and beautiful looking food. Whilst the presentation of the food was immaculate it lacked flavour. Staff were lovely and accommodating but I would not say the service was up there with other starred establishments. Worth a visit for the exquisite surroundings.

8/10The service was amazing and the focaccia was fantastic. The two meat dishes of the chef's tasting had way too much salt and the second meat dish was tough. Definitely not the quality I expected!

10/10We decided to come here for a nice dinner in Genoa. The server and sommelier were both fantastic and the food was amazing! We ordered from the Fish tasting menu and the paired wines, they were great !

4/10For context, this restaurant is rated 1-star by the Michelin guide, for a minimum of 200 euro per person. As we walked in, the sommelier dropped and broke a wine bottle at our feet. Accidents happen. The food was trying to be fancy but the combinations of flavors just made no sense on most dishes. The "burger" was largely uneatable, as the frozen bread couldn't be cut. Bathroom had no towels, guess we used our garments. The Chef spent most of the night talking to his friends at one table, instead of doing his job in the kitchen. Finally, they overcharged us on the bill, which I pointed out after paying, at which point said Chef handed me a few bills from his pocket (with a dark look) to compensate. It was quite surreal, and maybe they just had a bad night. I guess it makes for a memorable experience, but unfortunately on the negative side of the spectrum. Not sure what happened to the Michelin guide here... Avoid at all cost.

10/10I had the fish tasting menu with high-end wine pairing. The food is fantastic, very innovative, and the wines really interesting. The chef spends time with every table and the sommelier is truly knowledgeable. Great experience.

10/10Nice variations in the menu; the possibility to mix between the fish and the meet menu was appreciated. Excellent service. Good variation of wine selection with the menu and as well appreciated, that once a glass was empty, it was refilled

10/10A truly remarkable dining experience. Earns its Michelin star and probably deserves at least one more. Exceptional in every sense and worth every penny.

10/10Beautiful restaurant. Staff very welcoming and explained clearly the contents of the dishes. Bonnes bouche were delicious and a lovely start to the meal. There was a choice of four or five courses, each one different and light so a well balanced meal. The wine list is extensive so plenty of choice over all price ranges.

10/10We had a lovely dinner and wonderful experience. Service was very good - but a bit too fast in the beginning, until we asked for it to be slowed down. The food was very tasty - the only thing missing was more greens/vegetables.
