A Disappointing Attempt at Italian Cuisine

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, and the staff is friendly—though perhaps too many, leading to a slightly overwhelming service experience.

We ordered an antipasti platter for four people, but the dish itself was too large for the small table, making it impractical. Despite its size, the actual quantity of food was minimal, with a generous amount of rucola seemingly added to make it appear more abundant.

As an Italian, I know how the dishes I ordered should be made and taste. Unfortunately, what was served was quite far from authentic Italian cuisine. My spaghetti alle vongole was particularly disappointing—the first serving was full of sand, making it inedible. I asked for it to be remade with less chili, hoping for an improved experience. While the second attempt was at least free of sand, the excessive chili still overpowered the delicate flavor of the clams, missing the balance that defines this dish.

Considering the overall experience and the relatively high prices, the meal fell short of expectations. The quality of the food did not justify the cost, making it a rather disappointing visit.
