Indoor ambiance (would strongly recommend) is charming with personalized polite service. Just a gem!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 One of the restaurants that open a little bit early so we have decided to try it out. We got there 10 minutes before and people started coming after us. We got the seat even we didn't have reservations. I ordered risotto with fried perch (minimum 2 orders), lake fish sampler entree, and white wine to pair with fish dishes. Risotto flavor was good but the texture was a bit hard for my taste. It was different from the one I had in Venice. I don't know which one is authentic but I don't really like the texture of this one. Lake fish sampler also great on seasoning but then again some fishes have small bones which I didn't like. So if small bones bother you like me, I suggest don't order this dish. Also order "Miascia" with figs jam and pumpkin ice-cream. Which tasted balance with ice cream and taste of fig jam. Overall experience was ok but it was a bit over priced.

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO MEET THE RUDEST MANAGER!…read more The restaurant itself was cute, and our male server was ok.Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by what I believe was the manager, who was very unwelcoming and came across as rude and dismissive. Shoes not like children. We were a group of four adults and four children (ages 6-14) on our way to the beach. The kids were hungry, and since this was the closest restaurant, we decided to stop in for a quick bite before swimming, planning to have a larger meal afterward. From the moment we arrived, it felt like she was annoyed that we had children with us (Our children knows how to eat in a restaurant, they come from a family of fine dining chefs (their dad) they do not only eat chicken nuggets and fries) before we sat the waiter said we don't have kids food, or maybe that we weren't going to order a full meal. There was a whole menu but was told there's only a few items available. It even gave the impression that she assumed we couldn't afford the restaurant, which was uncomfortable, especially when she stands there and STARE at your table while you dine. What made the experience worse was watching her check on the other tables with a warm, friendly tone while treating us very differently and cold. The contrast was noticeable and made us feel unwelcome. As for the food, we ordered a bottle of water because we had our own personal water bottles and was told we're not allowed to drink it there, we ordered three buttered pasta dishes for the kids (which were actually the best items we had on the menu, ravioli, which was disappointing, and the salted cod. While I understand it's supposed to be salty, both the cod and the red sauce were overwhelmingly salty to the point that it affected the dish. Sadly, because of the poor hospitality, we would not return. Good service should make every guest feel welcome, regardless of whether they're ordering a light meal or a full dinner. Leaving me to NOT RECOMMEND such a rude place. There's lots of other friendlier restaurants and better food.

The food was not that impressive - it could be what we ordered, could have been the food itself. The chef sent out a starter, something fried, tasty. We moved onto the stuffed zucchini flowers, nice. Mains: we ordered the ravioli filled with sausage & potato topped with veal sauce, & an order of the tagliolini with fresh tomato & basil. The ravioli was good, the tagliolini was barely fair; the sauce was very light & did not have much flavor. Given our mains we opted out of dessert.

It probably was made the way it is supposed to be made but it was mostly a lot of rice with butter and sage and sautéed pieces of perch on top. I guess we were expecting something with more flavor.

I think this place is worth another try but I would get something different next time.

Lovely restaurant in Bellagio with the cutest outdoor terrace plus delicious food!…read more We had a reservation at this restaurant on a weekday night, and I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if you can since it was quite busy when we were there. We ended up getting seated right at the edge of the vine-covered terrace overlooking the beautiful Salita Serbelloni which just gave such a romantic vibe overall. All of the food we had was phenomenal. We started with the roasted octopus and potato gnocchi, both of which were very tasty with great flavors. The octopus was cooked perfectly, and I also loved the ragu sauce that went with the gnocchi. Then, my fiance and I had their fish of the day which they cook up in front of you, and it was served with seasonal vegetables and roasted potatoes. This was absolutely delicious -- the fish was tender and so fresh!

I think partly it was that our general online research offered a lunch menu that was a la carte, but they only had a prefix menu when we were dining there. In the end, I personally feel like this is more 3.5 stars, and what made it just shy of 4 stars was that the prefix menu felt like a cash grab.
