13/10/2019: splendida terrazza ma, potevano fare di più sia nella quantità che nella varietà, non è un posta dove si eccelle con l'aperitivo

13/10/2019: Abbiamo scelto un Menù degustazione da dieci portate tra cui solo alcune meritevoli di stella. Fagottelli la pergola eccezionali! Il resto fumo negli occhi e piatti “poveri” rispetto a quello che paghi. Sicuramente la mano dello chef c’è e si vede ma la scelta della materia prima è un po’ banale.. cuore di lattuga e cavolfiore considerate come due portate in un ristorante stellato no! buono il servizio e panorama mozzafiato.

15/10/2019: Le prime due ore se sei in buona compagnia passano... poi diventa veramente pesante.. seduti dalle 20,00 usciamo dopo mezzanotte solo perché mi lamento...

15/10/2019: The food was good for the most part and there were some especially good/interesting dishes. We also got good wine recommendations. I read that this restaurant was cozy and highly rated online. That is why I wanted to go. This restaurant is not cozy by any means. I booked our reservation on an app and did not realize that it was a Michelin Star restaurant. I typically would dress much nicer at home or traveling for work for a nicer dinner, but I did not pack any blazers, slacks, or suits since I am traveling with a backpack for two weeks. I also would not have chosen to go to restaurant this stuffy since I did not have the appropriate clothing, but maybe cozy means something different in Italy. I showed up wearing all black and a collared shirt, but it was all ath-leisure attire with black leather boots. I was not dressed cheaply. In total, the outfit I was wearing cost between $900 and $1,000 US dollars, but I did not look formally dressed by any means. The restaurant staff treated my boyfriend and I like trash. We spent $550 euros there. At one point the sommelier opened a champagne bottle and sprayed it all over our table, food, and both of us. We were polite about it and we tried to make jokes about it with the sommelier, but he played it off like he had not made a major faux paz and he/the rest of the restaurant staff made no effort to rectify the situation. He never said that he was sorry. There was one staff member that was super smiley and nice who made eye contact with every seemingly nicer-dressed patron, but she would not even look at my boyfriend or I when she came to the table and she did not smile at us once. When we ordered the full tasting menu, the waiter repeatedly tried to redirect us to the cheaper six course tasting menu to the point that I became legitimately confused about what he was saying. He could not seem to comprehend that we wanted to pay full price for the full tasting menu. Additionally, both of our wine bottles were approximately 200 euros each, which I understand is on the lower end especially for a nicer place but the restaurant had a plethora of much cheaper options. The wait staff treated us poorly regardless. I had to refill my own wine glass multiple times because the wait staff would visit our table infrequently and seemingly not notice that my wine glass was empty when they did occasionally come by. At the end of the meal, even though we had been done with all courses and wine for some time, the wait staff made us wait and watch while they were quite attentive to a table of formally dressed patrons who arrived at the same time as us, get the check, pay, and leave. We thought we would be next, but the restaurant staff never came to ask us whether we wanted anything else or the check. The restaurant was literally empty and there was no one else to serve and we had been done with our food and drinks for a long time, yet we still had to flag down someone to get our check and leave. We tried patiently waiting but it got to the point that we recognized we were their lowest priority. The clientele was also very stuffy and I was noticing a lot of staring that I would return with a smile. Every single person who I smiled at would turn immediately as if I were somehow offending them by acknowledging that they were staring. It felt very negative. I know there must be some cultural differences here that are getting lost in translation, but I should have known when the sommelier sprayed champagne all over us and our food and subsequently made no effort to apologize that the wait staff basically just never wanted us there. It was a really awful experience. If you go, make sure to dress in a way that appears nicer. I hope that you will have a better experience than we did. If you are backpacking through Italy and you are looking for nice but “cozy” restaurants, I would not suggest going this place. I have never been so upset leaving a Michelin star restaurant.

17/10/2019: Invitato a un matrimonio ristretto, abbiamo pranzato al top. Mangiato pesce. Nulla da dire. Dal servizio alle portate, allo champagne, alla location. Tutto perfetto. Ottimo

13/10/2019: De verdade me surpreendeu. Chegando a impressão não foi a melhor, mas conforme o jantar se desenvolvia me encantei. O carneiro estava divino.
