    (Translated by Google) WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE After reading some reviews on the internet and hearing some good comments from friends, we decided to try this restaurant near Piazza San Marco. The restaurant is not huge, it is welcoming, furnished with care (in its simplicity) and with the right number of seats to have adequate privacy and quiet. You are greeted by attentive and trained staff, never intrusive. We opted for a tasting menu, leaving the kitchen free and with hindsight I can say that it was the right choice. The itinerary spanned all fronts: land, sea, first and second courses, more traditional preparations and more original preparations. Obviously there were dishes that I liked more and others less, but the skills and raw materials used by the chefs, I would say that are out of the question! The courses that I will remember over time are sure: The chickpea dish in 3 "forms", that is crunchy, in the form of sorbet and foam; passatelli with scallops, mussels and saffron; the chickpea "fritter" with duck breast, cream cheese and vegetables; language well done too. We were all pleasantly impressed and satisfied and if I really had to find something on which to expect further growth in the future, it is in the desserts: after a dinner like this, in a place like this, I would expect cheeses and desserts to rise to the occasion, not "ordinary" dishes. Apart from blue cheese, I did not find the other cheeses particularly original and / or with particular aromatic notes; like the dessert, perhaps technically well done, but with not so distinctive flavors. Nothing dramatic, but if I wanted to reach the top, I'd try to improve that part of the menu even further. And as my table mate said, there is no reason why such a restaurant should not be recognized the coveted "Macaron" of the famous red guide. Thanks and congratulations to all the staff, definitely a place I would gladly return to and that I can recommend. (Original) CHE PIACEVOLE SORPRESA Dopo aver letto alcune recensioni su internet e dopo aver sentito dei buoni commenti da parte di amici, abbiamo deciso di provare questo ristorante nei pressi di Piazza San Marco. Il locale non è enorme, è accogliente, arredato con cura (nella sua semplicità) e con il numero giusto di coperti per avere adeguata privacy e quiete. Si viene accolti da personale attento e preparato, mai invadente. Abbiamo optato per un menù degustazione, lasciando mano libera alla cucina e con il senno di poi posso affermare che è stata la giusta scelta. Il percorso ha spaziato su tutti i fronti: terra, mare, primi, secondi, preparazioni più tradizionali e preparazioni più originali. Ovviamente ci sono stati piatti che mi sono piaciuti di più e altri meno, ma le competenze e le materie prime usate dai cuochi, direi che sono fuori discussione! Le portate che ricorderò nel tempo son si sicuro: Il piatto di ceci nelle 3 "forme", cioè croccanti, in forma di sorbetto e spuma; i passatelli di capasanta, cozze e zafferano; la "frittella" di ceci con petto di anatra, crema di formaggio e verdura; ben fatta anche la lingua. Siamo rimasti tutti piacevolmente colpiti e soddisfatti e se proprio dovessi trovare qualcosa su cui aspettermi una crescita ulteriore in futuro, è nei dessert: dopo una cena del genere, in un locale del genere, mi aspetterei formaggi e dolci all'altezza della situazione, non piatti "ordinari". Erborinato a parte, gli altri formaggi non li ho trovati particolarmente originali e/o con particolari note aromatiche; come il dolce, magari tecnicamente ben fatto, ma con sapori non così caratterizzati. Nulla di drammatico, ma se volessi raggiungere il top, cercherei di migliorare ulteriormente quella parte del menu. E come diceva il mio compagno di tavolo, non c'è motivo per cui ad un ristorante del genere non gli venga riconosciuto l'ambito "Macaron" della famosa guida rossa. Grazie e complimenti a tutto lo staff, sicuramente un posto in cui tornerei volentieri e che mi sento di consigliare.

    (Translated by Google) We chose to have lunch in this restaurant by chance and we discovered a really fantastic place. Cuisine of a higher level, dishes designed with attention to the Tuscan territory and surrounded with international products that are the result of great study. Absolutely excellent service and in particular the passion of Lorenzo, one of the owners who knows how to convey all his passion for his work. We will be back. Absolutely honest value for money. Small note of exceptionality: the pasta with tomato sauce for our daughters was even given to us, a gesture of unparalleled symbolic value. (Original) Abbiamo scelto di pranzare in questo ristorante per caso e abbiamo scoperto un locale davvero fantastico. Cucina di un livello superiore, piatti pensati con attenzione al territorio toscano e contornati con prodotti internazionali frutto di grande studio. Assolutamente eccellente il servizio ed in particolare la passione di Lorenzo, uno dei titolari che sa trasmettere tutta la sua passione per il proprio lavoro. Ci ritorneremo. Rapporto qualità prezzo assolutamente onesto. Piccola nota di eccezionalità: la pasta al pomodoro per le nostre figlie ci è stata addirittura regalata, un gesto dal valore simbolico impareggiabile.

    The staff was super attentive and the flavours were at times unexpected but a delightful surprise. I tried the 8 course tasting menu and it was incredibly well thought out from start to finish. It included an array of amuse-bouches to start before the 8 course meal, as well as a several desserts after the meal. Great value for 65€! I was super blown away by the duck breast - the cook on it was perfect, the skin was super crispy without being greasy.

    What an incredible experience. The food, service, and ambience were 10/10. The service staff were kind, worked well together as a team, and contributed to the lovely experience. The food was so good, so generous (we were stuffed), and the price was great. thank you for having us and providing such a phenomenal experience. Our favorite dining experience on our trip to Italy.

    Too nouvelle, too strange, too expensive. If you like that, then four stars, but I don't so one star from me. But, they were open during the holidays. The food was hard to figure out including the raw meat sushi (Tuscan sushi), and in the end the breadsticks were the best thing there. Oh, and their giant plastic animal in the foyer.

    (Translated by Google) Friendly reminder PS: You need to make a reservation in advance. I wore half sleeves, and the store didn't say anything, but in this environment, I really think that a suit shirt might be more suitable, and you can try to change clothes if you have the conditions. I opted for the 6 course set menu. 60€ Homemade bread baked on the soft side and crispy on the other side is amazing and full of burnt aroma. Interested friends can really try it. It is really different from the common cakes and breads in China. It is more like Xinjiang's baked buns, and it is just out of the oven. The taste of many things is indeed very different from our Chinese food, but it is good to try it occasionally. The service is very good, every dish is carefully introduced, even if I don't understand most of them🤣, I will ask you your evaluation of the dish when I change the dishes. Some people may find it expensive for the dishes, but their service is really good. In short, I may not come often because the taste is indeed very different from Chinese food, but it was a very satisfying trip to Italian food. (Original) 友情提示PS:需要提前预约订餐。我穿的半袖,店家没有任何表示,但是在这个环境里,确实觉得西装衬衫可能更配,有条件的可以试着换套衣服。 我选了6道菜的套餐。60€ 自制的面包烤的一面松软,一面酥脆,非常惊艳,满口焦香。有兴趣的朋友真的可以试试,和中国常见的蛋糕面包确实不太一样,更像新疆的烤馍,而且是刚出炉的。很多东西口味确实和我们中餐区别很大,但偶尔尝试一下很不错。 服务非常到位,每一道菜都认真介绍,即使我多数没听懂🤣,收餐具换菜时也回问你对菜的评价。单论菜品确实有些人会觉得贵吧,但是他们的服务确实很好。 总之,我可能不会常来因为口味确实和中餐区别很大,但是,是一次非常满意的意大利美食之旅。

    A little gem near Prato city centre. We had the 12 courses menu(€85 without drinks), wine pairing is priced 45€. I have to say it was delicious from the starters to the deserts. Every dish is well presented and the staff has a great knowledge of the ingredients. I wouldn't be surprised if they get a michelin star in the near future! 100% recommend especially if you want to treat yourself and your loved ones.

    Wow! We had the middle tasting menu and it was absolutely amazing! We didn't think we'd be full with it but wow. They change the tasting menu every few months. Most of the dishes were Italian with a bit of Asian twist. Such a hardworking and dedicated team also behind the food and service. 💖

    Amazing service, great decor. The popcorn dessert and pastelli were so good. And all great value.

    At first we were slightly put off by the area however once inside it’s a lovely, cosy restaurant. Service was brilliant and attentive. We got the 8 course tasting menu and staff explained every dish. The food was tasty along with the wine but was a lot of fish/raw fish, so wouldn’t recommend if you aren’t keen on this!

  • 5/5 איתמר �. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful evening! The food was innovative and delicious, definitely Michelin star worthy. The service was very professional and the whole experience was amazing. A great gastronomic dinner for a reasonable price, probably the best Michelin restaurant we’ve been to in Italy. Worth the drive from Florence!

    Absolute perfection. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. Excellent service, stunning food, and extra touches - like a visit from the chef and complimentary champagne - made the evening extra special. Grazie!

😠 I have just received a takeaway from this place. I ordered two burgers with chips. Both burgers tasted like they were cooked 2 days ago and barely warmed up. The same goes for chips. The food was definitely old. I had to throw it away after just a few bites. The food comes packed on a nice box. But...
