A truly pleasant evening was spent in this purely fish restaurant.
The restaurant is simply and tastefully furnished, managing to combine an informal atmosphere with an intimate setting, especially if you dine early, as my partner and I love to do.
The service throughout the evening was simply magnificent, the expertise in explaining the dishes, down to the smallest details even from those who were not responsible for bringing them to the table, was truly excellent. Worthy of a starred restaurant, without a doubt.
The food was much appreciated, especially the fish-based courses. Both my tartare, with scampi and foie gras, and the one with red tuna were excellent.
My cacio, pepe and sea urchin linguine are fantastic... if there had been a little more sea urchin it would be a legendary dish! The sea urchin had an embarrassing freshness and intensity, given how good it was.
My partner instead had a soft egg with asparagus, parmesan foam and pepper water. The dish wasn't up to par with the others, and then too much water!
Followed by a superlative San Pietro with friarelli and clam sauce for me and a red snapper with cream of broccoli and braised spring onion for my partner who also treated herself to a revisited tiramisu, with buffalo ricotta instead of mascarpone.
From a very careful and not at all banal wine list I chose an excellent Timorasso Derthona di Massa. Excellent wine.
To find nitpicks, one area for improvement, in my opinion, is the composition and description of the dishes on the menu: for example in my scampi tartare, foie gras is mentioned, thus creating expectations, only to then be 'nail; while the most particular part, i.e. an onion compote which gave a pleasant crunchiness to the dish, was not present in the menu description. Another thing: beyond the preparation, which as already mentioned, was not successful, I would tell you to remove the egg from the menu... it has nothing to do with the rest of the menu.
Price absolutely in line with the quality of the dishes. Dessert and grappa offered!
Thank you very much and well done
