Ristorante Cesare — Restaurant in City of San Marino

Visited in July 2012 — A bright, airy dining room with a roaring grill as its centrepiece, but the food was mixed. Bread was decent yet dry (4.5/10). Sardoncini marinati offered good sardine texture with rocket, tomato and pickled veg, but the acidity was harsh and lacked balance (5.5/10).

We had to ask for oils with our Coperto bread selection and also Parmesan with the pasta, shouldn’t it be standard to offer these? They don’t check on us, they feel they are above us. Sorry bad review but...
