Where do I start? We were here for our anniversary. Big mistake. The starters were terrible. My partner had the scallops that were cold and raw. I stressed this and they finally (after they said they were scallops that I knew they had them only 2 nights elsewhere) asked if they wanted something else but they did not. I had the seafood plate that was best average. My other half had the sea bass that (and she didn't know) was served Mediterranean style IE the whole fish on a plate. However, it was not sufficiently prepared (as most of my seafood platters, e.g. beak left in the octopus, mussels still beard on etc.), so that it was not scaled and the fins etc. were still on. While the fish tasted well, she pampered them. My lobster pasta tasted delicious. Puddings were average, coffee was good and the free shots at the end (limoncello for me and Grappa for my partner) were to be expected. Would I eat there again? No.

This restaurant is located in a beautiful location but unfortunately, the food wine did not live up to our expectations. Service was okay.
