We arrived and all went well to begin with. Nice place and ambiance. We were seated and given a menu each which did not match and had different items on each. When queried we were told one was an old menu . We chose our food and first course was nice apart from the fact that one our courses was gnocci with scampi but it was gnocci with 2 pieces of the smallest scampi we have ever seen. We then had our second course . One was ok but the other was beef fillet in pepper sauce. We had requested for it to be medium. When it came it was rare, cold & totally fatty so you could not even eat parts of it, we asked for it to he cooked more. It came back warm but still uncooked so we sent it back for a second time, hoping they would replace it as was inedible. It came back medium rare but same piece of meat, I could only manage half of it. We hoped as a gesture of good will they would not charge the full amount for a very poor meal but they did not so we left leaving no tip !!!!!!!!! BAD

The location is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The dining room was pleasant, if a bit dated. Still I found it quite comfortable. The wait staff were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The food was fine, but not stellar. My husband and I really loved our pasta dishes, and my herbed pork tenderloin was very tasty, but a bit dry. The insalata caprese and insalata mista were mediocre. The lettuce was a bit wilted, and the tomatoes were not very tasty. The wine list was quite good and served at the correct temperature.
