27/10/2024: So for the time of year , mid to late October there are not a lot of choices and this restaurant i believe is in the guida rosso so should have been better. But it might have been had we been able to eat a la carte instead we were warned beforehand there would only be a fixed menu for 42 euros available which we accepted. The trouble is with a fixed menu you need to get every course right and you need to make sure there is not too much food. On the bright side they have a good range of antipasti and the gnocchi was pretty good — flavor and cooking wise although there was very little actual seafood, just shells. The big disappointment was the secondi, Overcooked prawns tuna and scallop brochette. The deep frying of some of the antipasti also meant by the main course we were not v hungry anyway. Which is terrible if the quality of the food isn’t good. That said the wine list was good and we enjoyed Terlan and Jermann. Also interesting local sparkling wine from Santus. Moral is steer clear of any fixed menu. If they are willing to serve a la carte I would give them one more chance. I don’t know if they try on the fixed menu often though or if we were just unlucky!
