On the positive side, they were willing to provide extra dressing upon request. The much-lauded lobster ravioli was merely average. As for the $40 chicken scaloppini, it tasted like something you'd find at a random pub: dry, breaded chicken smothered in a thick brown gravy they call marsala sauce. Even the complimentary bread was lackluster—just bland pita bread, possibly the worst I've encountered at a so-called fine dining establishment. The only bright spots of the evening were the attentive service and the delicious tiramisu.

Simply provide your room number and the time of your reservation, and the staff will escort you to your table. The menu isn't extensive, which may be a relief for diners who find it challenging to choose from a wide selection. They offer a kids' menu for $13, which includes a side, main dish, drink, and dessert. There are also vegetarian and vegan choices available. Overall, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, though it is on the pricier side. My favorite dish of the evening was surprisingly the fried beets, which were delightfully crispy. However, we did encounter an issue with the tiramisu; the bottom was quite hard, indicating it wasn't fresh. We were able to get a refund for that, but it was a disappointing experience. We felt a bit uncomfortable as luck would have it that we ended up with the same server we had a complaint about during our first visit to the resort. While all other staff members were wearing masks, ours only wore a face shield, which was unsettling since he was very tall, and we worried about the potential for droplets. Given these concerns, we are unlikely to return to this restaurant in the future and might opt for cooking in our room if we ever decide to book at the resort again.

The pizza was akin to frozen grocery store varieties, featuring a soft crust and lacking any distinctive flavor. The salads were somewhat better, but given the price, I would recommend skipping these options altogether. The hotel itself and the staff are fantastic, but when we booked and were informed that this was fine dining Italian, I expected much more. Unfortunately, it was neither fine dining nor authentic Italian cuisine. Again, the service was very kind (though a bit slow), but overall, it just didn't meet expectations.

It gets style points for ambiance and good mood lighting and the artisan bread and balsamic vinaigrette while waiting for our food but that 's about it. At $15 a glass, I didn 't expect for my glass of wine to taste like it was in a refrigerator (uncorked) for three days, but it did. Our server told us halfway through our dinner that we could order cocktails from the hotel bar that would 've saved me $15 for something tastier. The restaurant was barely busy, but it took what felt like a slow eternity to get our food. I had the lobster ravioli that wasn 't bad but a gentle reminder of why I don 't pay for Italian food while eating out. Not the worst, but not the best or something that contained a wow factor especially for the price . They do, however, get a gold star for providing a salad as an appetizer for the kids meal. God bless the civilized children who eat caesar salad. My 5 and 3 year old kids don 't that saved my husband and I money on an appetizer.
