I hate to smear the reputation of this restaurant, but it was sooooo disappointing, so I have to share my thoughts. I wanted to love, or even like this place since it was recommended by a friend and quite a few blogger/vloggers, but i just cannot.
Pros:
Transportation - provides pick-up and drop-off to restaurant and hotel, as the restaurant is super high up. I didn't care that we were all stuffed in the van like a can of sardines but what could we do? My friend had to stand the entire 20 min ride, which by the way, the driver was 25 mins late.
Cons:
Where do I start? The food is awful. I think the saving grace was the side salad. The pasta was not good, the meat was dry, chewy and overcooked. Of the entire platter of 5-6 dif meats, the sausage was the only one that was 'ok'. The plate of beans, green peas and other misc. vegetarian-like items were just fillers. Never seen anything offered like that at another Italian restaurant in Italy or America.
We didn't touch the bread which was in a cello bag, laying on the table upon arrival. Like they can't even put it in a basket?
The wine is awful. I mean I've had cheap wine but this is CHEAP wine. The table next to us was smart; after tasting the complimentary wine, they ordered a dif bottle off the wine menu and didn't consume the free bottle provided.
Everyone loves dessert right? Not here. Dried cake overspiced with rum, and fruit that wasn't even sweet.
Take a look at the limp french fries they served us; reminded me of frozen fries that were baked/fried, and definitely not properly.
I swear the only good item was the garden salad and water.
Really not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. I'm truly shocked. So not worth the $50 pp we spent.
