Gelateria Genius In Lastra a signa

21/10/2025: I had read about this restaraunt on the Michelin guide, though sadly it did not meet our expectations. We had the five course tasting menu. The carpaccio of celeriac with hazelnuts and pomegranate was an interesting take, good mix of textures. The next course was the egg with onion mousse, great dish with nice flavour. Came with a delicious pastry which my partner and I had to split, it should have come with two for the price and presumed quality of food. Next course was a pasta with truffle, was fine. Too simple. For the main course one of us had ordered chicken and the other pork, they seemed to be cooked in the exact same sauce with same side vegetables. I thought this was lazy, should have been different for the different meats. Last course was a sesame foam with berries. I understand the idea of being inventive with textures, but it was bitter, heavy and did not present well as a dessert. We chose to have the wine pairing with it, the pouring was very small (probably 4 or 5 oz per glass), and prosecco was mid meal which was odd, not worth the price of 45 euros per person. The server was friendly and prompt but the service was often awkward and disjointed as she was having to train someone during a busy night.

20/10/2025: The food is very good and of high quality. We had a 5 course testing menu and every dish was delicious and very well made. The only remark is that there were no non-alcoholic cocktails to pair with the testing menu (only bio lemonades, which actually were not suitable for the dishes served because too sweet). Also, the knives to cut the meat were not sharp enough (just a suggestion for the future to sharpen or change them) :D
