"The place itself is REALLY nice, these guys have done such a good job that the place actually looks bigger than it is. It is in fact rather small with no more than 10-15 tables. The ambiance is cozy, neat and rustic I liked...it. Two guys are managing the place, one cooks in an open kitchen (the idea is not bad, but not everything is orderly placed) and the other runs the rooms, managing customers and orders. The initial welcome was a bit cold... perhaps because we were there a bit earlier than expected with 2 small children although the restaurant manager then opens up a bit and starts behaving friendly enough, although always a tad too cold to my taste. Would expect a warmer approach from such a young establishment. Now, let’s talk about what we came here for: the food. The menu is rather small, with few choices for everything: I take it as a positive note since I prefer having fewer choices with a guarantee of higher quality of ingredients and preparations. We are advised to take what seems to be the only appetizer: a mix of smaller servings comprising cheese with homemade pepper/pear jam, omelette with truffle, crostini with honey and bacon, and a small salad with lonzino. Considering we are the only ones in the restaurant, it takes some time but we don’t notice it too much. In the meantime, the pasta dishes for the little ones come as well and I think the portions are suitable for kids. When ours arrive (some 30 minutes later) I realize that that is actually the normal size of the servings... somewhat I find it a little scarce and the sauces are all a bit too salty. As soon as the restaurant manager/maitre/waiter appears I immediately take the chance to order since I realize it takes them some time to prepare. A tagliata di vitello and a trippa, with roasted potatoes as side dish. It takes something between 30 and 45 minutes for the meat dishes to arrive they’re good and portions adequate... it just takes too long! Dessert: a cannolo siciliano and a tiramisu they are both somewhat disappointing: desserts I have to say are not their forte. Then coffee and ammazzacaffè offered. All in all 83€ which I find is ok. In light of the time it took to serve us with an empty place, the rather small portions and the taste of the servings which was honestly just OK, I gave it a 3. I believe it wouldn’t take much for these guys to REALLY be good rather than OK. For the price tag and the rest, I believe there are better places. It doesn’t take much to be even better guys, work on it just a little bit harder! So, here’s the question: would I recommend this place to a friend? Honestly, I believe that there are better offerings out there for the same price. This is not one place that I would go back to, for the reasons explained. If these points were addressed, I’d be glad to give it another go!"
