The service was terrible long, not in particular nice but not unfriendly neither. The food took ages to arrive. My entrée, a simple parmesan waffle (melted parmesan which was called a waffle), 3 slices of Tyrollean bacon, 2 walnuts (actually only 1 3/4, a bit had been broken off of one) and very unspectacular honey went for 10 Euros. I... More

It was a well presented restaurant and it felt more lke eating in a grand dining room than a restaurant. There were little features that made it stand out for example, the unusual cutlery, the attractive coloured napkins. The service was a little slow and there were slightly more than comfortable pauses between the courses and particularly to receive the... More

This is a wonderful restaurant. It was recommended to us by a colleague in Milan and we were expecting a simple pizzeria. However the decor is fantastic, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent, had an antipasto plate and a pizza, both of which were top quality. The group at the next table all had sizzling T-bones which looked... More

We found this thanks to our guidebook and were at first uncertain whether to go in as we couldn't see any other diners! I'm glad we did though as we found everyone in the beautiful central walled courtyard. The weather in October was fabulous so still great for eating outside, there were fairy lights hung from the trees, the staff... More

We had one of our best meals in Italy at this restaurant. Service was wonderful as well as the food. I had the vegetable lasagna which was the best I have ever had. The restaurant itself is very lovely. More

I used to go here and then finally realized that the food just wasn't up to par. The tomato sauce tastes like it came right out of the can. The atmosphere is pretty and the management and staff are nice and friendly. More

Read the high ratings from tripadvisor and wanted to try it. What a diapointment :(. Portions were very small and way over priced for the quality of food. The mushrooms were out of a can, and very cheap one at too! Given the quality of fodd, didn't try the desserts. For half the price and ten times the quality try... More

Alas, food has deteriorated over the past 3 years while prices have shot upwards. Beautiful room, and great place for a small family reunion. Fish overpriced - portions small. More
