I should anticipate that I participated in a set meal for 17, so this may not be indicative of their best cuisine. The appetizer (smoked salmon and swordfish, shrimps, baccalà mantecato) was ok. The first dish was disappointing: while the fish sauce was steaming hot, the underlying pasta (paccheri) was cold and overcooked, and strangely enough it was made of two different kinds of pasta. The second dish was better, a remarkably good sea bass cooked in the oven accompanied by a cauliflower and bitter herbs pasticcio. We were served good local white wine. 3 bullets and a half would be the correct evaluation, if it were possible.

Friendly, welcoming ambience, lovely music, some of the nicest calamari I have had; after my meal I was brought, unbidden, a glass of Illy coffee liqueur which really completed the meal. Then I was left undisturbed while I happily worked on my laptop for an hour or so couldn't imagine a nicer work environment (though the liqueur possibly enhanced my mood, if not my work). Great place for a party, judging by the cheerful sounds from the tables next to mine. My only small complaint would be too much oil on the vegetables (which didn't really need oil at all). Would happily come back.

It has already anticipated the development of the Hotel Mignon, which as a perfect location for a psychological thriller with a character like Norman Bates will also close soon.
