We had been waiting for weather to cool off to enjoy sitting in the back terrace. Finally got to do it. We were very impressed with our server; he actually remembered us from our previous visit, which had been several months. This time around we had the Tomato Salad, and I had the Soft Egg. Both good, however a lot of tomatoes in the salad and I would have enjoyed bigger/more asparagus with the egg. We both had the Fillet, excellent size and temperature!! Enjoyed a Cannonau, which tasted great, dark cherry with a peppery after taste, but I should have selected something with a bit more body. Regardless great way to start holidays

Great experience overall but the food and the service were the standouts. A little on the pricier side but other than that, really enjoyed our dinner experience. Will definitely be back.
