The wine was great and GM knows about the wines and their producers. The food was outstanding! Absolutely recommended! We had antipasti, primo and dolci with wine, water, digestive and espresso. The ambience is relaxed and romantic as it is somewhat secluded. (Insider tip for dessert is definitely the tiramisù! Saluti to Marco and Nina di Zurigo!

First time we basically got told how we could have the audaciousness to even ask at 21:30. There is no sign of opening hours of the kitchen or the restaurant. Trip Advisor says 23:00. We thought: ok bad day and we’re in Italy…it’s not new that they’re a bit harsh sometimes. Second time, we went to ask at 20:45, they told us that the kitchen closes at 21:00 and that they’re fully booked in a way I don’t even wanna detail here. In the very nice pub down the street, they told us that that’s how they always are and it’s kind of their “Charme”. Apparently they treat you the same way, even if you’re a paying customer. So if you you wanna get treated like garbage and basically getting yelled at that’s the place to go. Everybody else I would advise to stay away. We travel a lot to Italy and we know, that they’re a little bit rough sometimes, but this was different and totally out of line. So I don’t know,

Suspect is that it was a mixed of pre-served wines. 1 star for not respecting the basic rule of opening bottles of wine in front of the patrons. Food was average/ hi average: portions meager Needless to say it is a no return
