Disappointing Experience Slow Service and Subpar Food NOT recommended My recent visit to this restaurant left much to be desired. Upon arrival on time, we were initially ignore by the staff, with waiters just passing in front of us. Then we had to wait twenty minutes to be seated, despite having a reservation. This was a frustrating start to our evening. Once seated, we ordered the Tagliatelle with Prawns and Black Truffle. Unfortunately, the food fell far short of our expectations. The Tagliatelle were store bought and overcooked, the prawn were teared apart in tiny pieces (see picture), which made us initially think they just forgot the prawns in the dish. The sauce was unusually sweet for a pasta seafood dish. The most disappointing aspect was the black truffle, which was supposed to be in the dish. Regrettably, there was no trace or taste of truffle and it left us wondering if it had been omitted entirely. For a dish costing 25€ in Italy it‘s really a shame. Upon giving our feedback to the service staff, they just didn’t react to it at all. While the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, the service and food quality were major letdowns. I had high hopes for this dining experience, but I left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed.

A charming find. Tucked away this was a pleasant surprise. High standard cuisine at reasonable prices. Friendly staff. We sat inside with the air con but if not quite so hot out, happy to have eaten in the courtyard under the magnificent palm tree. Well worth a visit.

Exceptional food. Rarely have we been in a place where every dish is a wonderful surprise. We were 6 and had Ricciola (both the checviche and the main course, the wonderful courgettes and mint risotto, the dirty calamari and the pasta pesto mandorle. Amazing. All with a Grillo Spumante at the beginning and a Grillo wine afterwards.
