The confirmation was duly received with a booking-number for available slot for 2.30pm. Being quite short of time we made our way on foot from the Central station, came on time, but at the doorstep we received an unfriendly NO with not a single impulse to get us seated and served even if “the kitchen closes on 2.30pm”. Bad signal for a top-level restaurant they pretend to be. And my criticism to the Fork, who seem To be badly integrated with Tripadvisor.

The restaurant was full to the brim, with all tables in the early part of the dinner. A couple who got in behind me but had wisely booked on the phone was shown to the last remaining table. I waited more than ten minutes, but there was no hope. The restaurateur apologised for messing up. Still apologies or not this was a complete waste of time, and a uselessly frustrating experience. Incompetent handling of online reservations is a caveat when you consider going to this restaurant: beware!

Good was a solid 8/10 and service was also good. Fish apps and mains very good. Service could be a little more friendly to non locals. Ambience a bit old fashioned, but tradicional, and welcoming. Solid and would eat there again.

Given the qualification as fish-restaurant adn rating as per Michelin guide for example, had hoped for a real fresh fish experience, but most of what's on the menu is secondary, defrosted, which goes for some dishes (Scampi). No idea what they did to the lobster I had, but it was overly salted.

The staff is attentive and friendly. We organized my daughter's graduation dinner there in the form of an aperitivo. There was a wide variety of food, and the flavors were excellent. It was satisfying. I highly recommend it.

We had the anelli alla pecorara (tomato based sauce) and the mezze manicho cacio ,pepe e scaglie di tarfuto estivo (cream based sauce with truffle parmesan) and last but not least, the tiramisu. Its a vegan restaurant with food options without alcohol. The chef is friendly and took time to explain about the menu there. We spend about €45 for 2 people dining in.

One of the best Vegan restaurants I have been to. The quality of the food and the options are amazing. There is a selection of homemade vegan cheese too which is rare to find. The staff are friendly and sweet. The chef was incredible, she really has a passion for cooking and her heart is the restaurant itself and takes great pride in her work. I have never met a restaurant owner/chef so passionate about food and people. This reflects in the food and how great it is! We did not know what dessert to try so she bought a whole plate full of the popular desserts. Some of the food we tried is attached, we had asked the waitress for recommendations and we were glad we did.

Definitely, one of the best food I have tasted in Europe.

There were two set meals with 2 to 3 different options for each, very affordable for what you get. Everything is homemade and refined, beautiful presentation of the dishes. The pizza I had was delicious. The desserts are healthy and homemade with natural ingredients.
