Went here after a long day at work..had penne arabiata which was well done and Tiramisu was brilliant..no rush seafood place in quiet Isola Della Scala town. Thanks
The Trattoria is very nice and the service is of high level. The food is excellent but the price is too high. I don't agree with other reviews that promote this restaurant as very good price. We selected the rice menu (three different type of rice dishes, 1.5 l of local white wine, 3 desserts, one fish plate) spending around 30 euros, which is too high in my opinion. Honestly, the food is excellent, and the service is very good with pleasent people.
We returned to Isola della Scala to dine at one of the two rice establishments, either Meletti or Ferron at La Torre, but unfortunately they were both closed for the day. We asked locals where to have lunch and they recommended this Trattoria. The table settings and the fish display cabinet give it a more restaurant feel, which was confirmed when the account arrived. The owner seated us saying with a smile, it was 19 minutes to 2 o 'clock and we were within four minutes of their closing time. We shared the Risotto al radicchio and Monte Veronese cheese, which was excellent, following by a fresh 800 g sea bass which was filleted and oven baked, served with potatoes and vegetables. The fish was also excellent. We shared a rice dessert which was average. Our total bill was 111 Euro for 2, but 89 Euro of this bill were only for the main course (the fish 60 Euro) and a very good sparkling Millesimato 24 Euro, cover charge 5 Euro. Therefore by choosing other dishes the bill would have been much less. In fact, the pasta dishes at the nearby table, looked very tempting. However, we have to say the meal was very good and our time here enjoyable.
Seafood paella was excellent! It was really well presented and full of fish. Very tasty and we ate a large amount of it. The value for money is also really good. I strongly recommend it. The other items on the menu looked awesome as well.
