I have mixed feelings about this restaurant encounter. However, I have to give it 3 stars because the food was DELICIOUS. We knew going in that it would be more expensive based on the atmosphere. We chose to spend the money for the good ratings and view. As I said, the food was incredible! However, our waiter was incredibly pushy and brought us things he recommended that we never really agreed on. When reading us the specials for the day, he asked us if we liked prawns and we said yes, so then we some how ended up with $30 prawns after we already told him what we wanted to order. Then he pushed two other $25 appetizers on us and got my husband's order wrong. At the end (since we had so much extra food than planned), we were stuffed! They asked THREE times if we wanted any dessert. We said no (it was lunch time and had plans for gelato on our walk), and he got mad. The service was also incredibly slow. The only two other tables on the terrace who sat down after us got their food and even paid for their bill way before us. Then, when the check came, there were things on the bill that we did not order/receive. When I pointed out that no one had ordered grilled octopus (something he mentioned in the specials), he tried to tell me we did. I assured him we did not, and then it was removed from the bill. He knew we were from the U.S., and I feel that we were taken advantage of because of that.
I feel that if you don't care about that sort of encounter, this would be an amazing place. We were ready to spend money, but still felt pushed to order way more that we should have. We went in with a simple lunch in mind and were forced to have a $200 meal. Again, the food was so good. So be ready to spend money and get random things ordered for you/changed. Also CHECK THE BILL.
There is a rooftop bar as well that you can have a drink at. He told us to go upstairs and check it out after our meal, which was nice. We wanted to come back, but the Aperol spritz I ordered with lunch was $18 (and just okay), so we didn't want to risk it. However, the views are stunning! read more
