Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Had dinner here and it was good but not . It seemed the waiter was just by himself making service very slow. The tagliere misti was superb, fresh and tastefull. After we had the pasta puttanesca and pasta Nduja. The pasta puttanesca was delicious, very flavorfull. The pasta Nduja was ok, we didn’t really feel like it tasted to Nduja?! It was more like a mushroom and artichoke sauce.. Housewine is fine. Tiramisu was delicious. Starters, pasta, water, 0,5 wine and one tiramisu came down to €60. All in all good, but not great."
"Had a lunch: Antipasti were average (3 stars) Pasta was good (4 stars) Grilled fish and the sea food were excellent, a 5 star option! Very long waiting time, but might be a local characteristic"
"Ho trovato questo locale su Internet e ho voluto provare questa esperienza culinaria che si è rivelata a dir poco fantastica. Una cucina eccezionale, curata nei minimi particolari, cibo freschissimo e dí primissima qualità, prodotti a km 0 che di cui si sentiva l’originalità dei sapori. Le portate sono eccezionali. Il proprietario Roberto , nonché anche chef, è una persona molto accogliente e si interessa costantemente sull’andamento della cena. Il cameriere molto garbato e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questo locale e ci ritornerò molto presto perché ho mangiato benissimo."
"Great food, great atmosphere (I ate outside), very hospitable owners. I went back several times and constantly ate very well. The menu is limited and extremely fresh. Don’t go here if you want a tourist menu and fast service. go here if you are foodie and looking to eat genuine food and enjoy your meal. Only weak point was they didnt have dessert a couple of nights, which was better for my waistline; but they made up for it the last day with SPECTACULAR home made gelato."
"Arrived at 7.30pm as stated on this Web site but although it looked open we were told it wasn't open until 8pm. We returned later. We were the first to arrive but it became busier later. Told there was no menu but the man front of house kindly got some antipasti and secondi translated on his phone. We were a bit unsure about ordering things we didn't know the price of and were told the house wine was "finished". Having established a bottle of wine would cost 12 euros we went for it. The antipasti de la casa was very good containing salami, ham, cheese and croquettes as well as olives and peppers. We then shared a secondi of veal ribs and contorni of potatoes and tomato salad. The bill came to 65 euros. Service was fine and the food arrived slowly, which we prefer. However others who followed us mainly had pizza or pasta options, neither which were offered to us so did feel we were taken advantage of as non Italian speakers (although we can manage a menu in Italian) Really don't understand why a menu was not available."
"This is a place inspired by the owner’s/chef grandma which is really cool and seems like a family spot. The restaurant is intimate and clean in the old town. The menu is small and I think it is updated daily so it’s fresh. The staff doesn’t speak English but it makes for real local experience which is good, but the young waiters are still really friendly. I tasted the linguine with clams which was proper real seafood pasta. I suggest coming after 8pm for a busier vibe."
"La passione per la cucina e l'arte di ospitare del proprietario/cuoco si riversa nei piatti ottimi che ho mangiato. Antipasto spettacolare con caponata di mare e ricotta con miele che spiccano. Primi ottimi e secondo molto particolare. Il servizio effettuato dall'ottimo Salvatore ci ha fatti stare molto bene. Nella foto cavatelli con sugo di salsiccia bianca e porcini il piatto che abbiamo più apprezzato."
"Great quality ingredients, great service and lovely restaurants located in the heart of the city center (I’m Italian!). Prices are also fair. Will be back"
