Unfortunately, this was by far the worst dining experience we’ve had in Italy. The restaurant might have a minimal and elegant look at first glance, but what happened inside was a complete disappointment.
From the moment we arrived, the service staff seemed visibly tense and disorganized. We opted for the tasting menu, but had to wait over 50 minutes between each course. Not once were the dishes explained or introduced properly, which is the bare minimum one would expect from any restaurant offering a tasting menu.
The table next to ours, visible in the photos, remained uncleared throughout the evening. Instead of resetting it, the staff used it as a dumping ground for empty plates, used corks, and random leftovers.
During wine service, the wine was spilled directly onto our table. The staff simply wiped it off without saying a single word.
As for the food: the tartare starter was quite tasty, but the truffle pasta was bland, characterless, and entirely forgettable. The third course, a meat dish, arrived completely overcooked—dry and charred around the edges. Portions in the tasting menu were so small they bordered on laughable. In hindsight, ordering a single full-sized dish would’ve made far more sense—though coming to this restaurant in the first place clearly didn’t.
And finally, dessert. The panna cotta was a disaster. It had lost all shape and collapsed to one side of the plate like a puddle. It looked and tasted like unset cream. To make matters worse, they clearly noticed the issue and tried to cover it up by smothering it with some chocolate sauce. Honestly, I’ve had better desserts from a supermarket.
Maybe this place went downhill after being listed in the Michelin guide. But based on what we experienced tonight, I can’t understand how they made it onto the list in the first place.
