Upon receiving our mains, we told the waiter that our brown pasta was way undercooked and another pasta was not very flavorful. Instead of the waiter accommodating and welcoming our comments, he broke into a tantrum and a fit about how we should not come back here if we don't like the food and that this is how they make the food and he will not change the way they cook for us. He started yelling about the truffles and that he is italian and knows how it should be. To be honest their home made spaghetti was closer to udon noodles, and their pesto sauce was not a pesto rather an infused oil. We paid our bill and left, and will surely never return there - not because of our bad experience with the food, but because of the very angry and aggressive attitude and energy. People can have bad cook days, but an aggressive attitude is not acceptable.

Elegant Italian fine dining with unpretentious and helpful waitstaff from... Italy!…read more Ordered a 600g (21oz) T-Bone steak cooked medium rare with a 0.4l mini carafe of delicious house red, and a little sparkling water. 36Euros. The steak had more bite like a grass fed cow would, and the deep beefy notes confirmed this. Lightly herbed and charred with olive oil. This behemoth was almost double the size of most other steaks I see around Europe. It was served with steamed vegetables heavy on seasalt and roasted peeled potatoes. The house red had a structured fruity nose and gentle tannins--just enough to compliment the steak. The waitstaff were efficient and came by to chat occasionally. The price reflects how nothing seems cheap in Europe, but amazing value may be had.

I ended up in Darmstadt, a little tiny town outside of Frankfurt, I would say almost by accident. This ended up to be one of the best experiences in Italian dining that I ever had in my life. Truly epic. Not one false note during the entire dinner, everything from appetizers to pasta to veal to wine was absolute perfection. Huge thanks to the chef to the proprietor and our server Christian. Very memorable experienced if you have taste buds.

The family is from Sicily and makes excellent homemade pasta. I had the freshly made tortelloni stuffed with spinach and ricotta. It was as light and delicate as my Grandmother's. If you enjoy real Italian food, you need to go to Da Nino

They also had a great red wine from Montelpulciano! We enjoyed so much and were staying at the Maritime hotel across the street, so went back for a late dinner.
