However, serving the appetizers (fries, grilled vegetables) 15 minutes before the main course was odd. I recommend the pizza.

The appetizer (tuna and salmon tartare) was good, and the first course (tonnarelli with swordfish and bottarga) could have been better.

Unfortunately, the prices for the dishes were exorbitant, as they weren't up to par for a mid- to high-end restaurant. The pesto for the pasta was similar to the pre-packaged kind you buy at the supermarket; I couldn't finish it. There was little attention to detail in the dishes, and the glass of wine was limited. Honestly, prices of €15-€19 for dishes that would be worth €10 don't seem fair to me. It's a shame because the place is really nice; let's hope they improve.
