    We loved the starters! We had the tartare and salad. Yum! The famous cabonara was very nice as well. However, we found that, unfortunately, the al dente pasta was still a bit undercooked to our taste. Some of the meals were also cold. A big no- no for pasta. The betoni bisque was not as fresh as I’d hoped. The reinvented tiramisu - a classic - was disappointing. The fact that you have the cold liqueur fall onto the single layer of sponge cake makes it very watery. The layer of chocolate is also quite thick and hard. Way too much cocoa powder on top.

    Your signature dishes and cocktails left very little to be satisfied over. Unfortunately your negroni is far to bitter, your carbonara lacked depth and flavour, and your tiramisu (which i had seen on social media and was most excited about) there was NO coffee/alcohol, the chocolate was so thick that i could not crack through, and due to the lack of coffee/alcohol the biscuit was super dry as there was no liquid to moisten this as i have noted above. This was the most disappointing dish of the evening as it has been posted everywhere. Service is a little lack luster, but once your service realized this (due to the lack of our water being brought & our requesting this 3 times and eventually your host assisting us) it got better as our seating progressed. Your signature cocktail should be your limoncello, the dish should be your caccio e pepe, and desert your mille feuille. These dishes and drinks impressed us, and we will 100

    The tiramisu was a miss unfortunately. It was frozen half way through, struggled to break through the chocolate disc and it was icy at the bottom. Service was excellent though!
