Unfortunately, the chicken was bland and swimming in oil, making it nearly inedible. The noodles that accompanied it were dry, tasteless, and didn’t have any sauce or seasoning. The salmon was initially served overcooked and dry, so I sent it back. The replacement was barely seared on the outside and completely raw in the middle. If we wanted sushi, we would have gone somewhere else. It’s hard to understand how this restaurant has received so many positive reviews. I recommend finding a different place for dinner!

We were so hungry that my girlfriend managed to eat the edible parts, but in the end, it felt more like a light appetizer than a meal. The pizza was called prosciutto de fichi or something similar, and it had way too much arugula and hardly any balsamic. Overall, it was really underwhelming. On the other hand, I ordered the tagliatelle carbonara with scallops, and that was delicious. The bread, however, was just mediocre.
