    A small, intimate restaurant with lovely well-priced food. Service was excellent. If you order the filet with the balsamic reduction, I recommend that you ask for it on the side.

    Solo diner - they seated me upstairs in front of the bathroom door - I was less than a metre from it. Nothing like the photos as the main dining room is downstairs - I had a reservation but it didn’t change anything. So sick of being discriminated against for choosing to dine alone. However, food was excellent.

    The seating is horrible all the chairs and benches are covered in super slipery leather (like if they just armoralled them). It’s impossible to not slide off as the backs of the booths are at a 90 degree angle so very uncomfortable. Made the whole experience awful. The food was mediocre at best. The Pici were raw and hard, how can you mess up boiling pasta, it’s the national dish!!! Also I had the ragù di chingiale and I was surprised to find raspberries, blueberries and blackberries mixed in the pasta!!! They trying to include desert in this dish? Very off putting and the taste made no sense at all. Maybe they are trying to represent what the chingiale eats while I eat it with pasta? The wine was good, they didn’t make it! The price is cheap so it wasn’t totally upsetting, but again not a place I would recommend.
