My colleague and I made a reservation here on a Saturday night and it was one of the best meals I've ever had in Italy, and I've had many (I come every summer for a month). The atmosphere is magical with the inner courtyard and banana trees and garden. The service was impeccable...respectful, helpful, and with a sense of appreciation of the customer that makes you feel very at home. Chef Ruben took the time to introduce himself and offer a (gratis) amuse bouche, which was raw shrimp with cheese with soy sauce (how does this go together?...incredibly!). From that point on, we were in the hands of the waiters and Ruben. My colleague got the "Jackson Pollock" melanzane and and pasta nerano (with zucchini from the garden) and I got the marvelous polpo "luciano" followed by the best spaghetti vongole I've ever had (Ruben adds a subtle amount of reduced broccoli which transforms it into a whole other level, another "secret" preparation that must be tried). We put ourselves in the hands of our waiter for our vino bianco (a local Falanghina) which complemented everything very nicely. The evening was made complete when it unexpectedly rained and we all worked together to move under their covered porch, a gleeful way to further embrace the staff and our fellow diners! We will be back every year, henceforth. This is my new favorite restaurant in all of Italy (seriously)!!
