Fantastic atmosphere, rip-off prices
The staff could seriously not have been nicer or more courteous. The establishment was beautiful, in a good location near the famous bridge - and the atmosphere was very elegant and inviting.
The prices, to be fair - were not so much more than any other below average to average restaurant you might find yourself in, however (and this is a big however) the quantity is NOT worth the price. It would be understandable to say that they charge a little bit more to keep the riff-raff out, or that it's to pay for the quality in ambiance. It would be fair to say that, if it weren't for the fact that they charge a 3 euro seating fee - per person! I was outraged by that, actually. And had the quantity of food not shocked me to my core when it arrived on the table, It still might not have been an issue.
We ordered two dishes, respectively: Spaghetti with asparagus. I think they took one spoonful of pasta and placed it on the plate; Pork with potatoes. I think they took half a potato, cut it up, and then took about 5 pieces of chopped pork and put them next to each other on the plate. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to take photos of the meal...but the description should be enough.
We had a bottle of water to share. Our total dining cost for all of the above: 37 euros.
As chichi as the atmosphere was, it was not worth that amount of money - especially considering there were about three bites worth of food. Having said that though, it was very good.
However, because the staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was so good - I will give them credit rather than complaints. Just be forewarned that you are going to have to pay a pretty penny for your meal, even if your meal isn't really the size of a meal.
