Customer feedback is mixed but generally positive. Many praise the beautiful decor, friendly and attentive service, and exceptional food, highlighting dishes like the bistecca alla fiorentina, spare rib ragout pasta, and desserts such as pistachio ice cream and tiramisu. The diverse wine list and knowledgeable sommelier team are also appreciated. However, one recent review noted disappointment with specific dishes like porchetta (tough skin), carbonara (scrambled egg-like), and salty zucchini fritti, along with indifferent service.
Chef Francesco Mazzei is recognized as a prominent ambassador of Italian gastronomy. The restaurant emphasizes the use of seasonal, top-quality ingredients, with mentions of white truffle in December and asparagus and fresh peas in Spring.
