One of the best meals that we had while in Italy. I liked that it was a bit closer to what we tend to see in the US - meaning there was a salad bar, that had so many choices and they were all good. Plus there was approx. 30 cheeses at the salad bar to choose from, it was crazy!
It is a bit formal, though I saw people dining that were dressed casually as well. The dining room is nicely done with a great view.
They start you with a small plate of meat and cheese - literally one of each for each person, which is nice. They served bread with house made butter, which was really good - I don't normally butter my bread but this was too good to pass up! Then I had the salad bar. They then brought out a cold octopus salad- nothing I would have ever ordered but thanks to this experience, I will be in the future!
I had the osso bucco with risotto, which was a special that day. It was good but I've had better. My husband had house made pasta with lobster. He also thought it was good, but not great.
We then shared the dessert buffet. There was tiramisu, different varieties of chocolate and cookies as well as a berry cream dish and profiteroles in a chocolate sauce.
Though I would only rate most of the food as good to very good, I think the variety, service and setting really made it a great experience. read more
