Romantic Hotel Furno & Restaurant Relais In San francesco al campo

10/01/2025: Review for the restaurant. Om 'd Fer is the result of a well-done renovation of an ancient medieval castle, located in the center of S. Ambrogio and right on the road that leads to the Sacra di S. Michele. The place is very beautiful in the view it offers and in the contrast between the stone and the windows; the room is warm and the tables are far apart from each other. We were also very happy with the food: beautiful proposals, good quality of the raw materials and excellent preparation techniques. The starters are the highlights, with refined flavors and in perfect harmony in their combinations; the former also excellently made and balanced in taste (only some doubts about the quality of the prawns used); the second courses were also good (with the exception of the pumpkin with fondue which I didn't particularly like). The Barbera is also excellent. Overall I would give 4.5 on the food, with a fifth star which I don't feel I can give for three aspects: 1) Courteous service, but detached and never with a smile, almost intimidating (this was pointed out to me by more than one diner) 2) The portions on some starters or main courses seemed too small to me (first courses all ok) 3) At a table with 10 seats and 400 euros for lunch, they charged a 1 year old child €2 cover charge for the mere use of the stool to sit at the table: for the series "how to get lost in a glass of water ". Note: If you bring a cake you will be charged 1.50 per person for cutting.
