"even if we were in the area, we had never eaten in this restaurant. great mistake, how you really eat very well! we took mixed appetizers, among which we loved ravioli and vegetarian involtini, and the Thai pad, one of the most typical dishes of this kitchen. was one of the best I ever had in a restaurant, a mix of perfectly balanced flavors. Good and special sweets. we will be back soon to try more dishes. very kind maid and friendly owner, great service."

"Located in a somewhat lost place in the countryside. To get there, take a narrow and winding road. The location is spartan to say little (not recommended for a romantic dinner on the first date but the reception of Roberto immediately creates a familiar climate, as if you were guests more than clients. The dishes are very good and not discounted, cured without squeezing the fashionable dining eyelet . strictly tuscan wine charter (the Ligurian ones are already foreigners : . We chose the menu if you trust and we were particularly pleased with the small ears with shrimp, asparagus and roasted eggplant cream. Fish is great and good value for money."

"Finalmente un sushi come si deve!!! Sono andato a mangiare la settimana scorsa con amici, abbiamo scelto il menù libero e subito dopo l’ordinazione hanno cominciato a uscire piatti, non abbiamo dovuto aspettare praticamente niente che già tutto era pronto, sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dalla vadta selezione di rolls, hanno anche tantissime scelte per vegani, per una mia amica. Ringrazio molto il personale per la cordialità e velocità, prodotti Freschi, e siamo usciti con la pancia che scoppiava, torneremo sicuramente grazie!!!"

"An Italian friend of mine had raved about this restaurant, so I said to let me know the next time she went. So on a Saturday evening 10 of us went to El Rey to eat. The place was decorated very nicely, bright colours and with very cheerful and efficient staff. The menu offered a relatively wide range of dishes. The resturant was much larger than I had expected from the little pub area outside. So far, so good. Then I ordered a Margarita. Hmmmm...perhaps the worst one I have ever had, it tasted like it had been made from some industrial powder pre-mix, just sour and strong. Maybe it is hard to get fresh ripe limes here in Italy. I didn't order another. On to the food. I ordered guacamole and enchaladas verdes. Hmmmm...not that they were bad as such, but both seemed to indicate that they had been prepared some time ago. I am a real guacamole freak, love the stuff. But although there was a large portion served, and with lots of chips (that did look home-made , the taste was not very exciting, any lime or spices were hardly detectable and the whole thing just seemed very bland and as if it had been made a good while before serving (also indicated by the colour of the avocado puré . Edible, but not the real pleasure that I get when making guacamole myself at home. Likewise with the enchaladas. The main flavour was salt, other spices were either absent or masked by the salt (which could have been better used in the guacamole . The dish appeared as a somewhat soggy, bland (but salty mass that had been prepared a long time earlier and re-heated. Our group was drinking beer by the pitcher, which maybe was OK, but with all the great microbreweries around these days, I don't drink much major brand beer anymore. However, it seemed to go down well with the others, so I guess I shouldn't fault it. If I had been alone, I would have tried one of the Mexican beers, there were a good number on offer. All in all, not a very exciting experience. Edible, but a far cry from the real thing. Even the other dishes that I sampled from my friends were only just OK. Maybe the problem is that the place is just too big, and it is very difficult to serve freshly-made food when there are crowds. Maybe the experience would be different on a normal weekday evening instead of on a crowded Saturday. But I am not sure I am inspired to try it again..."

"It is not possible not to have soy sauce when selling sushi, point. The suschi opens as soon as you touch it, I had to eat it (the little, because then I lost patience and threw it)without soy and with the spoon. Besides, it's not really cheap, and when you walk into the club 5 minutes to pick up the tray, go out and smell fried sucks. That's all I'm saying."
