20/05/2025: I passed by chance and it was a pleasant surprise

13/05/2025: Review – Monday Risotto Tour I went to try the famous risotto tour that they offer on Monday evenings, intrigued by the peculiarity of the initiative. The flavours of the risottos were good overall, but unfortunately the cooking left much to be desired: the rice was a bit overcooked, probably because they start from a pre-cooked base to speed up the service. Another aspect that was not looked after was the menu: not only was it visibly ruined, but it was not updated. I had asked for a beer that was on the paper menu and well advertised on the walls of the restaurant, but I was told that it was no longer available due to a product change. Furthermore, the draft beer that was recommended to me as an alternative did not have a price indicated anywhere, which is not exactly transparent. As for dessert, I was disappointed by the tiramisu: the mascarpone cream was flavourless and the consistency was lumpy. I must say, however, that the cheesecake ordered by my friend was good and well made. Overall, if you're curious about trying the Monday risotto round, it might be worth a visit, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially in terms of the quality of the dishes and customer service.
