    Great food, and the service was excellent! The only complaint is that the seats are uncomfortable. Please get better cushions!

    Food was excellent and delicious. Service was great and setting was beautiful. The students were great but I could see that they were still students. Some of them looked stiff. There should be a class in customer interaction / self awareness, if there isn’t one now. The students should have an appearance of confidence. But again, everything went well. Thank you. Richard

    Always a special treat to visit the Medici at the CIA. We had only one time slot available. First to arrive at 11:30am. That meant superb service. Our appetizers were : CAPPELLETTI RIPIENI. The pasta was a la dente, but delicious. I choose the chicken cutlet. It was layered with a raddicio salad, goat cheese, walnuts, mozarella cheese in a tomato sauce. Yummy ! My husband had the duck. Two very thick slices. One was tough and chewey. Dessert was CREMA DI PANE AL TIRAMISU. A creamy custard with a crunchy cake underneath, Very tasty.

    Everyone's meal was delicious and interesting. Timing of service was a bit off and drinks ordered before the second and third courses didn't arrive until everyone was mostly finished with the course, so plan ahead.
