Nice food and great service. Would recommend and visit again. The burrata with pistachio was especially memorable! Service: 5 Location: 5

We passed by the restaurant about 17:00 and found the place and the menu to be very attractive, so we booked right there for dinner. We were absolutely disappointed! The only good thing was the wine (Carricante eruzione 1614, 28) As antipasti we ordered the burrata and the Tris di mare. What can I say, you can go to any supermarket in the country and get a better burrata, put it on a plate and bam! You have a better dish. This burrata (9) was bad, as it had been previously frozen and lost all flavor and creamy texture. The tris di mare (15) was an extremely poor mix of two fried prawns, two dubious skewers, and a tiny tiny fried fish. You get better on the street for less than half of the price. As main, we ordered a tagliata (15) and busiate with artichokes and Bottarga (15). The tagliata was alright, but overcooked and dressed with a balsamic thick sauce that nothing has to do with meat On the other hand, the busiate were a huge disappointment. Bottarga is precious product and supposed to be very tasteful. Well, I could not taste it, as all I tasted was something that seemed to be cream with cheap cheese and lots of salt (if I had bought a ready to eat sauce in the supermarket it would have tasted better). The pasta was overcooked and the artichoke in the dish was only the leftovers, the hard to eat leaves. I would recommend to anyone not to waste money here.

The restaurant is just perfect, everything was dilightful and the staff was really kind. We spent an amazing evening.
