When we arrived we were amazed by the location but that was mostly it. For a Michelin recommended Restaurant we were very disappointed. The service was okay. The pasta and sardines were very simple but good. For the rather elevated price we would have expected a bit more. But all in all the primi were good. The most disappointing part was the desert. Both were just very sweet and weren’t very refined flavour and texture wise. So for an aperitif and lunch with just a main dish, it’s okay

The restaurant looks nice but the food was really dissapointing, not rising up to expectations. We had Sardocini and Vongole as apetizers and Gran Fritto di Pesce as main. All were very bland, lacked salt and honestly mediocre. The gran fritto was very oily and tasteless, had only few bites of it and left the rest on the plate. The service was decent but did not acknowledge at all feedback regarding the food besides an empty reply "it is a different concept". In general a disapointed experience!

I ate here for the first time with my husband and his family (unlike me, they go once almost every year). The place is well-decorated. The food is tasty, I enjoyed it. The staff are friendly, the prices are moderately high, but still reasonable. The service was very slow: a good two hours for shared first courses and shared fried foods. In the meantime, we’d asked for information once, only to be told that our dishes were arriving. Meanwhile, they’d served two tables near us who’d arrived after us and had ordered the same dishes as us.

It's over hyped and food was just okay. The fried fish had no flavor and the pasta was mid range. I was really disappointed with this experience. Its a nice atmosphere but thats it. You can get way better food at the mercato!

Nice restaurant with outdoor garden seating next to a giant, beautiful tree. Slow service. The food was awful. My wife ordered pallega fillet. It was pathetic! Maybe 2 ounces of fish, and full of bones. Beyond disappointing. The fried fish had ZERO flavor. They say on the menu, “don’t ask for lemons.” Maybe, the lemons would help your flavorless dishes. Maybe. If you are looking for good seafood in Bologna, I promise you this is NOT the place.
