Second time we visited. First time was incredible, it was when the restaurant first opened. Yesterday was disappointing. The only dish that was worth eating was the mushroom with melted cheese. The lobster entry and the pasta was tasteless. The icecream had weird lumps in it. Service was good but with the high prices, quality of food should be excellent.

The restaurant has a very interesting ambiance. As it is divided into some spaces you always feel like you are in a small house which is great. Service is excellent without being intrusive. Food is great as well with the pasta being freshly prepared each day. The complimentary focaccia to start was very tasty. And the main courses were all great (we had the one with pesto and pistachio, the one with sausage and the funghi risotto). And to finish the tiramisu was very light and creamy. All very good. We will definitely come back more often.

Todo nos pareció delicioso, las entradas, el pappardelle, el agnolotti, los raviolis, el tiramisú, pero la reina indiscutible fue la pannacotta de pistachos tanto que pedimos otra pero lo que si es que vino con menos frutos secos encima qué la primera lo que fue un no no. Todos los platos deberían venir iguales y le quito el contraste del crunchy con la cremosidad. Pero volveremos porque nos gustó mucho.

Full recomendado! Deliciosa experiencia, creativas opciones en el menú y maravillosa atención. El ambiente intimo y agradable, la única observación es que la música estaba muy alta. De seguro volveré!
