Unfortunately this place is overly pretentious but much of the food is mediocre. A true Italian restaurant should be the exact opposite, unpretentious but delicious. The food here is very hit and miss. The spaghetti alle vongole was frankly awful: the pasta overcooked and soupy, and the vongole ruined by far too much oil. No restaurant in Italy would get away with serving this, especially not at these prices. The vongole should be fresh and zingy, naturally salty with just enough olive oil to balance the taste. The secondo (maiale con le fave), on the other hand, was a success, succulent and delicious. Overall, we’d like to see less pretentiousness and more focus on the quality of the food.
