    Extremely disappointed with our experience. The host was very hostile and unwelcoming, our food order was incorrect and sent back - what made it worse was that we hadn’t finished our starter before the main came. Overall the food itself was excellent but a dis-taste with the poor service, pretentious atmosphere and lack of customer care - other than the chefs the staff all need customer training or go to another job!

    Dear Emma, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and especially regret that you felt unwelcome during your visit. While we are pleased to know you enjoyed the food, we take your comments about the service very seriously. It is clear we fell short in several areas, and this is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver. Please rest assured that we are addressing your concerns with our team to ensure this does not happen again. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the 5-star experience you deserve. Best regards, Miryana Ivanova Guest Relations Manager

    Esperienza terribile in fatto di cibo e servizio, cibo scadente, servizio deludente, non ci è stata neanche data la carta delle bevande, i dolci alle 21..30 erano solo quattro, senza ovviamente la carta dei dolci, il cameriere scortese e parlava poco e male l’inglese, cibo al di sotto delle aspettative dell’ambiente : unica cosa decente, le tapas di pollo, e la vista della città.

    Dear Marta Rolla, We are sorry your experience did not meet expectations. Please note that all staff are required to speak fluent English, and we apologize if there was any miscommunication. Regarding the dish you mentioned — the Organic Tagliatelle Aphrodite — the menu describes it as being served with squid, octopus, shrimps, fresh herbs, cream, cherry tomatoes, and capers. Unless a guest specifically requests modifications, we serve the dish exactly as listed. We are sorry it was not to your taste, but we can always accommodate changes when asked. Regarding dessert, options may be limited later in the evening due to demand. We are glad you enjoyed the chicken tapas and the view. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us improve. Kind regards, Miryana Ivanova Guest Relations Manager

    Dear Samuele, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the lovely view and had a generally good experience with us.

Separate payments can be arranged, but we kindly ask that guests inform us in advance so we can accommodate this smoothly. We understand how this may have caused inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Kind regards, Miryana Ivanova Guest Relations Manager

    Posto molto bello, i prezzi delle bevande non sono eccessivi ma il personale è stato un po’ scortese poiché, nonostante avessi prenotato per 3 persone, ci è stato dato un tavolo per 2.
    Sense Rooftop BarResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Rocchina, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of your visit. We are glad to hear you appreciated the atmosphere and found our cocktails' prices reasonable. However, we are truly sorry to hear about the issue with your table and the way it was handled. We understand how frustrating it can be to arrive with a reservation and not be properly accommodated, and we apologize if our staff came across as impolite or unhelpful. Please know that we are addressing this internally to ensure our team handles all bookings and guest interactions with the utmost care and courtesy in the future. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again and offer you the experience you deserve. Best regards, Miryana Ivanova Guest Relations Manager

    It was too crowded, the tables are quite small for a place where you can eat something. If you are sitting on a table to the window you need to ask your neighbours to remove themselves and provide you a passage. The staff, as kind as they were, were forced to serve the dishes to customers hands due to the inability to make their way through the crowded tables.
    Sense Rooftop BarResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Teodora, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your experience at our Rooftop Bar was not as comfortable as expected. Our Rooftop Bar is primarily designed for a lively cocktail, and it tends to be more vibrant and social in atmosphere, especially during peak hours. We understand that this setting might not suit everyone looking for a more relaxed dining experience. For guests seeking a quieter environment with more spacious and private seating, we recommend our Gastro Bar. It offers a more serene atmosphere, perfect for enjoying lunch or dinner in comfort. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again soon—perhaps in our Gastro Bar for a different kind of experience. Best regards, Miryana Ivanova Guest Relations Manager
