Our dining experience there was exquisite, from the hand-crafted cocktails to the smart service to the appetizers and entrees. We were told it's a good idea to order from the daily specials, and so we did for the pineapple salad (fresh and tangy) and the fish of the day, mahi mahi with garlic white wine, capers and perfectly steamed vegetables. We started with a Caprese salad brimming with oodles of fresh mozzarella and fragrant pesto. And I had the braised duck over pasta from the main menu, with a portion so large I had to take home a container. It's an intimate, enclosed space, so the volume of the boisterous conversation was quite high, but it didn't bother us. Loved the appealing wall art, too. We'll be back soon!

This place was so incredible, we made reservations for the very next day during our dessert! The food is cooked with such flavor and such care! The ambience is indescribable, you feel at home the minute you walk in! The staff needs to teach classes on how to properly handle guests, they're that good. This will be a regular stop! Everything we had was beyond our expectations! They will duplicate this effort for you, I promise!

This is probably the best food on the island- LOVED the funghi risotto. They have something on the menu for everyone. Staff is always on it and friendly. Atmosphere is great. Can't wait to come back next time I'm on the island.

Staff so nice and accommodating ... and the food was delicious truly enjoyed our evening read more Staff so nice and accommodating ... and the food was delicious truly enjoyed our evening

As I was eating it I didn't even enjoy it but I wanted to eat something and then 2 hours later back in my hotel room I had aggressive stomach pain and you guessed it projectile vomitted into the toilet. Keep in mind I don't throw up normally I haven't thrown up since I was 7. I didn't want to blame the food immediately I tried to give grappa the benefit of the doubt but then 2 hours later BAM I threw up again and it was the noodles. My sister had to hold my hair back and it's all cause of grappa. And before you think it could've been something else I ate that day my sister was also throwing up and we shared the noodles so don't question me! I then drank some water as I was dehydrated and just threw up my insides. 1 hour later I threw up FLUIDS. And this happened again another hour later. I spent the next day bed ridden only conscious for maybe 4 hours and couldn't move or eat AND IT WAS SUNNY so I missed out on a wonderful beach day. I also felt bloated so despite throwing up everything and not eating the next day I still wasn't giving Bella Hadid. Let this be a lesson to you TO NEVER GO HERE.
