We were seated next to 3 speakers & asked to move away from them. They didn’t move us, but changed the music to a bit quieter, we think. They didn’t communicate about that. They did comp our salad since I said the avocados were hard when asked how the salad was. They brought us a sweet anniversary dessert which was much appreciated. Had to ask multiple times for the bill, though:-/. Rest of the food was very good/well prepared/cooked!
AncioviResponded on 30 September 2024
Dear Janice, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and appreciated the sweet anniversary dessert.

A wonderful evening to celebrate a birthday. Amazing views over the bay, very good Sicilian rose wine, delicious seafood starters and beautifully prepared t-bone steak. All of the staff were courteous and efficient, but they were also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Anciovi!

Loved this place. Beautiful views from the San Domenico. Gorgeous hotel. Linguini with langosta was excellent. Due to our reservation, was able to then enjoy a cocktail at the main bar inside the inner courtyard of the hotel. Must book far in advance.
