We had lunch on Sunday and really enjoyed the food.
The cuisine clearly draws on tradition, but plays with innovation and simplicity, without ever overdoing it. The flavors are excellent and well-balanced, never overpowering, and that's precisely what makes the dishes successful. Special mention goes to the tagliolini and lamb, which are truly excellent. The olive oil is also excellent, and the tartare is very good: perhaps a little lacking in salt, but with well-defined flavors. You can tell the chef has a good hand and a clear vision. In terms of cuisine, it's a place worth trying.
The place is very charming, with a unique style that works very well. The selection of cheeses is excellent, although the way they were served made them lose some of their value: the positioning was wrong, and some flavors canceled out the following ones. I would therefore reconsider the plating, because the raw ingredients are good.
Unfortunately, the sore point is the service.
Lunch was excessively slow, especially with four tables in the dining room.
The waitress, initially a bit cold, once she warmed up, proved to be very nice, knowledgeable, and courteous—a great presence.
The male waiter, older in years, was a different story. We found him rude and out of place for the setting. When the cheese selection arrived at the table, which was supposed to be explained to us, the waiter didn't show up. After a full 10 minutes, I had to go ask if someone would come explain the dish. When he finally did show up, not only didn't apologize in the slightest, but also didn't even say hello, since the young woman was serving us. He did so in a visibly annoyed manner, as if he were annoyed by having to perform that task. The explanation was extremely quick, extremely bland, and careless, so much so that he left immediately, without even giving us time to ask a question. I almost had to run after him to simply ask which cheese was best to start with.
The impression was that of someone who was completely uninterested and who considered the presence of customers (who didn't consume bottles of wine 😉) a nuisance. The very nice young woman, however, immediately apologized for the inconvenience of having to wait for an explanation.
Added to this was an inconsistent incident during the reservation process, with the same waiter: we had requested a table for 2:00 PM, but the same male waiter told us that the kitchen closed at 2:00 PM, making it impossible to book at that time. We were therefore seated at 1:30 PM.
After 2:00 PM, another table arrived, seated around 2:15 PM, which was also accepted without any problems. Considering that online it says the kitchen closes at 2:30 PM, it's unclear why we weren't given the option to book directly for 2:00 PM.
