Sadly it was not as we had expected. Atmosphere was similar to a library. No background music and everyone seemed to be whispering. Service was slow and food mediocre and disappointing. We arrived with our coats and were not offered to hang them anywhere so had to pack them alongside us on the seats. All in all not worth the outing and won’t be returning.

The restaurant is very well designed and in summer time has tables outside on the terrace. Food is either fusion with an Asian influence or you can have revised Classic Italian . Both choice for our group were fantastic . Finally a place that does not offer u ribbollota, Pici or Tagliata .

It 's more nice in spring and summer when you can eat outside on the terrace . The wine choice is wide with a good quality, just go there when you are not too much hungry: the portions are a little small and too much expensive. But there 's no place in Arezzo like this: go there and enjoy it.

To begin with that once we arrived there was the waiter who greeted us and allocated us to a table in a corner because another table closer to the piazza was dirty and had to be cleaned. Regardless to say about the tables that once you place the dish the move around and for sure not matching the price of the food you pay. Service was very slow. One waiter for the whole restaurant and sometimes the owner that was coming out to serve some dishes. Food was ok! What a pity!

And the price for two with a lugana wine and six tempura shrimps, 108 euro A plain robbery!
