I have just been here and wanted an Aperol Spritz to watch the festival Palio dei Normanni. The location is perfect. But they gave me a drink that doesn't contain any Aperol without telling me they wouldn't have any Aperol they just handed me the drink. After tasting it I immediately realised that I was given something else. Upon my return and pointing out that I had ordered something else they simply shrugged and gave me a bit additional prosecco in the drink. Typical scimming off the tourists. My accompanying friends joined the conversation. They speak better Italian than I do. But nothing changed. We then wanted to order Limoncello Spritz but that was now even more expensive. I had been charged 7 €, the Limoncello Spritz was supposed to be 10 € each. I highly recommend to avoid this place if you can.

We ate :
Brushchetta : That was okay. I can't go wrong there.

Read moreWhat a gem! Found this place on a wet Wednesday afternoon and were royally treated to a feast. Il Padrone urged us towards some grilled veal which also came with lamb assuring us it was all local and good.
We asked about antipasti and he cautioned us the mains would be sufficient and boy was he not wrong!
I should at this point issue a warning to all vegetarians and vegans to click away now!
Enormous platters arrived groaning with succulent lamb cutlets and the tenderest veal all beautifully grilled and as tender as could be.
If you like your meat this place is not to be missed! I’m sure the pizzas are very fine also but for us this was a true carnevale!!!
Fabulous lunch, superb service and...
