Big hit of our stay! Beside the fact that the location is just magical, with the best view of the square just on the bottom of the cathedral giving us a majestic and dazzling angle of the Duomo! The terrace is so charming and warm, taking you completely in a wonderful universe! And if the location and framework are that good, the cuisine brings it to another level! Each dish will be a true gustatory revelation. And let’s finish with the best: the staff! A warm welcome, only smiling faces getting you the best!
My friend absolutely wanted pasta alla carbonara and even though it was not on the menue they were really happy to cook it for her! The waiters will always have a special attention making you feel the most important guess of the restaurant. I forgot my credit card at the counter desk, and was looked for until the Marina to be handed back my card with a big generous smile! Thank you again for this kindness!
I would definetly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a magical...

The only odd thing (for Italy) was that no bread was offered - I am sure we would have got some if we had asked, but still... Of course the location is top notch and you have to be prepared to dine with an audience, sitting on the Duomo stairs. Tomorrow, we will have...

As we there approximately 8pm we had about a 15 minute wait, which was reasonable for a Sunday night
Once seated and menus and aqua was acquired, the hard decisions were to be made from the menu
Predominantly seafood, it was a wonderful selection to choose from.
The pasta delicious, the risotto was amazing, the tuna carpaccio fantastic

The service was fabulous, even some language lessons and a steady line of comedy was happening
Overall a great night out, enjoyed by o e and all.

Do your self a favour- step up and into this beautiful little restaurant
