**Edit: In reply to the restaurant, yes we were definitely visiting this restaurant. Rather than try and make me look stupid by suggesting I’ve reviewed the wrong restaurant, better to work on fixing the issues that I mentioned in my review
Visited here on a Sunday afternoon, there were not so many other diners so we were able to find a table easily. Placed our order and passed the time eating the bread (which was delicious, as was the balsamic vinegar). We noticed that the waitress went home during serving us, saw her putting the coat on. No notification or anything, and quite unusual to happen. Even though the restaurant was almost empty we had to wait a long time for our food - only to discover that when it was served two of the three meals ordered were incorrect, so had to wait a further 20mins approx. The quality of the surroundings, service and food was terrible. The food was very much below average. The risotto was a mess of melted cheese and some mushrooms, there wasn’t much rice. The mixed salad was very basic. The prices were far too high....
Read moreWe visited this place with my friend for dinner a couple of days ago. I decided to order something special, such as Pasta with pistachio and shrimps. However, straight after dinner I started feeling very unwell and ended up being food poisoned for the rest of the night. The next day I needed to stay at home, so my vacation was a little bit ruined. I would NOT recommend this place. Just to say, my friend mentioned that her food made her feel quite strange as well, but she had a...
Read moreRistorante con un dehor vecchio e troppo commerciale esteticamente. All'interno l'esatto opposto: colori vivi e una parete illustrata meravigliosa. Unica pecca essere molto piccola e con una mise en place già vista. Servizio zoppicante. Un po' freddo e distaccato, tranne se al tavolo si avvicina la "padrona di casa". Calorosa si, ma superficiale nel prendere la comanda a mente. Ci è stato portato quindi un risotto in più, invece delle caramelle piacentine. Corretta la loro decisione di lasciarci il risotto nell'attesa dell'ultimo piatto. Chapeau Le attese sono state brevi, tranne per i menù a inizio cena. Due taglieri in sei come antipasto. Salumi nella media, buoni gli gnocchi fritti, abbastanza scarso il resto. Due pezzi di formaggi stagionati e delle verdure più curate, farebbero fare un salto di qualità alla cena. Risotto funghi e salsiccia perfetto: sia come porzione che come sapori e qualità degli ingredienti. Risotto allo zafferano e culatello un po' forte di sapore, con il rischio di stuccare alla lunga. Cotoletta alla Milanese buona ma ci si attendeva una porzione decisamente più abbondante. Chiudono la cena le caramelle piacentine in crosta di parmigiano. Ottima la fattura della pasta, ripieno sciapo, ma forse il piatto in sé e fin troppo delicato per il nostro gusto. La decisione di inserire le caramelle saltate in padella nel cestino di parmigiano, lo ha velocemente ammollato, rendendolo alla lunga difficoltoso...
