First of all,this place looks and feels amazing, me and my daughter came in at 16:30, the place was empty and the chef himself took care of us. And then the food, unbelievably taste and beautifully served. Also an important thing , they actually speak English ! So overall out of 5 Starz I give it a 10. On top of the perfect experience at the restaurant the surrounding area is one of the most beautiful places I've been in Italy, and I have  been all over. Must have experience.

Absolute disgrace.

The place obviously used to be good as it’s on the Michelin guide but it’s clearly gone down hill. If you are thinking of coming for this reason, don’t bother.

It was an utterly bizarre experience from start to finish and we came away feeling conned. We were told it was a tasting menu but we weren’t allowed to see what the dishes were or what the prices were - how very odd. Then the waiter delivered the food to our table without telling us what we were being served which was very strange and rude. We literally had no idea what we were eating, but whatever it was was bang average.

We had to ask for olive oil with the bread and ask twice for an ice bucket for the wine. The waiter was slow and unfriendly. He didn’t once ask us if we liked the food.

Also a very strange location for a restaurant, behind some apartments.

Overall it was terrible and not even worthy of one star. If we could give it zero we would. Avoid avoid avoid!!

High end dinner place near Pizzo downtown. I visited here a few times over the past years, and I always had a great experience. Staff is very professional and well trained and the Chef and food are just spectacular.

I have been here recently with a few guests from San Francisco, who have a very high bar where it comes to food, and they were blown away by the quality of the presentation and the taste of the dishes.

Highly recommended if you want to impress your date or guests!
