I guess the dinner at the 1st floor restaurant will cost much more. Also I found very professional staff and beautiful location. I'll come again for sure.

Amazing restaurant. At the ground floor you find the…read morebistrot/cafe, a good place for breakfast or even a lunch break. At the top floor you have the real deal, the fine dining restaurant. They are both extremely good, only the ground floor bistrot sometimes has portions that are way too poor and prices which start to get inexplicably steep (even pasta is well above the 12€ per dish). But the quality is definitely high for pretty much all of their bistrot dishes, except for one: the burger. The burger is the only thing that doesn't live up to expectation (and its price: almost 20€!!), it's not good enough for that price and the tomatoes in it look and taste really cheap. But anything else from the sandwiches to the desserts is really tasty, well seasoned and flavored. So go ahead and try it if you end up being around!

Due to some reason I kept getting sent to this town to do repairs, the happy side effect was I was…read moreintroduced to this place. I used to think italian food was overrated, the same three basic ingredients arranged in different shapes. In all honesty it was on me for thinking the travesty we call italian food in the bay area is representative of what they have in the old country. The pasta is fresh, perfectly al dente every time, square cut noodles are the superior shape. Service is great here, they're super patient with me considering i cant speak any italian. The just plop a large bowl of bread in front of you to munch on as you work your way through the menu. Alot of the daily specials are not on the menu so it's best to have someone who is familiar with the language with you as to avoid confusion. I didnt even know they could make a lemon version of tiramisu. If I am ever back in italy, I will definitely check this place out once again.

Absolute one of my best food experiences ever! The first thing you see when you enter the door is…read moreall the awards and certifications from TripAdvisor...my first reaction was to look for the Yelp logo of course ;) but couldn't find one :/ Anyways, I continued and the next thing you see is all these wine bottle and I can't stop myself from taking a look into the labels. Pretty good wine produced in the wine yards nearby...of course! And some of the are worth over 2000€ The food, oh my the food! No wonder they have so many awards...! The antipasti roast beef with Tuna sauce was amazing! I like the rare combinations, like fish with meat or like the main course black rice with prawns and Gorgonzola sauce Mixing cheese with fish is something very rare in Italy but this was unbelievably good And now to the dessert! My colleague took the tiramisu and he's face said it all! He'd never had something so creamy and delicious in his life. I regret that I didn't took the last tiramisu piece, that he by the way got for free because it was the last piece (!) However, my new favorite dessert is the Bonet. Oh my gosh! So creamy, so much chocolate, it's like kissing the clouds! Try it out!

It's hard to play with creativity in a restaurant: often the results are just strange mixtures of…read moreingredients, and originality seems to be an objective itself instead of a way to create great dishes. At La Rima creativity is perfectly used: results are incredible fusions of perfumes and tastes. All the dishes we had, besides an excellent presentation, have been wonderful discoveries, like the risotto with blueberries, licorice and smoked eel, the pasta with Jerusalem artichokes and duck speck, the red mullets with tapenade and celeriac sauce, the monkfish with saffron sauce. Also the wine list has a lot of unknown and interesting proposals, like the excellent Faius we choose, a great blend of Fiano, Greco and Coda di Volpe grapes, balanced, persistent, with a rich mixture of tastes: mint, vanilla, oak, ... Beside this, the dining room is calm and relaxing: right distance between tables, good music, not too loud. Finally a great service, with complementary starters, right speed, friendly and expert staff, ready to provide all info and curiosities on wines and dishes. We will certainly come back!

It was a nice vegetable soup which was perfect for a cold, slightly dreary day. We sat inside since it was drizzling and they weren't serving outside.

The staff were very pleasant and welcoming overall.
