A tourist trap. At first excited to find this through Michelin and that it was literally right next door to our hotel. In the end, what a disappointment.
There were three other tables in the dining room, one with three Americans who just arrived in Italy, a foursome of two couples (non-Italian), and very loud, nonstop Italian talking couple.
Very old school South Philly type place. Nothing all that interesting on the menu. They wanted you to have white wine with certain dishes and red with others. The entrees were served with a shaker of parmesan! At 110 euros, over priced for the quality.
The salami and cheese plate, featured two slices of the same cheese, plus slices of four meats, one which we said tasted like the most boring deli ham available at any major supermarket. It was followed by pork ribs, which was kind of like pork belly because it was 2/3s fat and 1/3 meat. The little meat available was quite good. It came with a smattering of french fries (maybe 15). Odd and lame. The other was supposed to be Sea Bass, yet as the receipt noted, it was Branzino and totally boring, along with overcooked stew of vegetables (carrots, peppers, zucchini).
The bread was appalling by European standards, even American expectations. What's up with that?!?!?!???
First, and probably the only time, using Michelin for dinner recommendation. I wonder how much the restaurant had to pay to get the Michelin star.... read more
