"There are only nine tables at this "excellent" Italian seafooder in Castello, so it's "kind of like being in the chef's house", especially when "he comes over to advise" guests on what to order." Full review

"One of the most interesting restaurants in the city. It serves fine, sophisticated cuisine that is nonetheless authentic and free from unnecessary frills." Full review
Time Out "This tiny up-market restaurant is always an experience, with engaging chef Gianni Bonaccorsi involving his customers in all his creative angst." Full review
Travel + Leisure " Pricey for dinner, it offers an extraordinarily good value for its set lunch menu: following plates of modern cichetti such as shrimp with cauliflower and roasted almonds." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The restaurant emanates a calm elegance from its small, brick-clad premises. There’s barely room for 20 diners in here, and each is made to feel very special." Full review
