Exquisite dinner, proposals with attention to every detail. Spaghetti with clams, nothing short of sensational, as well as the incredible softness of the cut and the crunchiness of the potatoes. A special thank you to Matteo for the warm welcome and his kindness, it was a magical evening! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We have been in Italy for three days now and this was by far the worst food we’ve had on our trip. The restaurant was recommended by our hotel, so we assumed it would be good This turned out to be a very expensive mistake! The waiter recommended that we get a 4 appetizer tapas style sampler chosen by the chef for €40. These 4 appetizers ended up being: 1. 2 cold sardines fresh out of the can with a piece of lettuce on top. 2. An artichoke heart with a blob of mayonnaise on top and some pickled onion pieces. 3. 3 small pieces of plain, unseasoned, raw fish filets (with bone and cartilage in them) drizzled with olive oil. 4. 1 small scallop the size of the diameter of a Euro coin. (To be fair, this was the only dish that was seasoned well. It was delicious, but there were 3 of us, so we cut this tiny scallop into 3 pieces so we could all have a bite. The amount of these appetizer was ridiculous considering the price, the portion size, and 3 out of the 4 of them were simply terrible. Then onto the entres 1. Duck pasta: this was dry and bland. Hardly any flavor. 2. Clam Spaghetti: A lot of work for very little food and very little flavor. The flavor was also very bland. 3. Fried seafood: very small fried seafood with very little meat. The shrimp and fish all had heads and shells in them and had not been cleaned out. It was a waist of time to eat. Overall, the meal cost €132 and we all left hungry and disappointed.
