Beautiful garden and setting. Traditional dining room (if you like it). Very inventive dish presentation. Reasonably expensive. Easy to park. Beautiful view.

The view and dining room is lovely, our meal was fine, but not the best ever. The dining room is QUIET. The only complaint we have is regarding our server Flavio (?). It was a very odd experience. He pressured us to order very quickly while we clearly were looking at the menu and discussing, He returned at least 4 times during the next 5 min to see if we were ready and he was pacing back and forth just behind our table until we did order. He was also very annoyed we sent back the wine he chose after we gave him a VERY detailed description of what we were looking for. My husband had to use his wine app on his phone to select an appropriate wine. We didn't see much of him after that. The other servers were ALL friendly, and helpful and we had no complaints there. We are used to dining in Italy/Sicily, and at casual and formal restaurants and we agreed this was very weird. It was meant to be a special night, but we felt so uncomfortable, we didn't linger for dessert or coffee.

Not a guest at hotel which presented awkward moments when walking in and we had to get check at reception desk. Pasta dishes of pumpkin and one with purple gnocchi were very good. Appetizer with eggplant and phyllo not much. Sea bass with shrimp okay, tasted closer to shrimp etouffe. Eggplant appetizer was so so. Service sub par by quite a ways. And why serve a stale lump of processed white bread? Not great far away views of temples some due to restaurant lighting. For views book into villa Athena for dinner, can’t vouch for food but views a thousand times better.

Unfortunately fell well below expectations in terms of ambience, service and quality of the food. Wine list was littered with wines out of stock. Food was poor. Left the restaurant after the starters in disappointment.

This restaurant is operating at the highest level. The creativity and execution of the food is super. The staff highly trained and helpful. The garden and setting is breathtaking. We were thrilled!

The location and the garden is really beautiful, but food was very bad, no one of us (we were 7) ate up. No recommendation at all! Due to language problems (we don't speak Italien) and waiters were not very comfortable with English, we avoided to discuss our bad experience.

a very high level restaurant, that kept our expectations ( and more ). We enjoyed the exceptional " at least 1 fork" food, the service, the ambience and every thing, specially the gardens !! If you go in summer it will be a double satisfactory experience !
