The oysters were delicious but the olives were so so, could’ve been warmer for warm olives. The martini was forgotten so the whole process was not timed quite right. When the martini arrived, it was mixed well but not shaken to be the right temperature and it was not cold enough. We asked for bread and it was the quality of something a day old. Next we ordered the Fruitti de Mare and Cacio e Pepe. The dishes took a long time to come out and in the meantime the waiter helped us with a recommendation for a glass of wine that we liked. Both dishes were disappointing. The Fruitti de Mare was not salted and the seafood was mostly overcooked. The Cacio e Pepe was just plain bad. Not spiced correctly, the pasta was inconsistent in taste and texture and the salting was inconsistent (some bites too much and some too little). I’m not sure the kitchen taste anything they’re preparing. We then ordered the Twix for desert which was pleasant but not outstanding. Overall the service, food and overall experience was disappointing.

Truffle fries were the best we’ve had with actual truffle shavings along with the Parmesan. Delicious thin crust pizza and lamb popsicle. And to top it all off, a hand-signed birthday card and complimentary dessert for my friend! The main room is beautiful and their covered patio (closed during the winter) is stunning. Strongly recommend.

Everything was delicious, except the seafood risotto, which had a chlorine-like aftertaste, likely from seafood storage or water. Aside from that, the meal was excellent
