The restarunt is located besides the river and the view is nice. The spaghetti al Nero di seppe is really good and authentic and the menu set for tourist is with good flavour and value for money.
Have a look at the bill before you pay, they had problems with maths with different custimers.. also, staff is not italian, I had to explein them how to cook a pasta carbonara "in the Italian way"... Just avoid this place!
We were the first in the evening. The reception was unsmiling but not unhelpful. When we asked for tap water with the wine we were refused, and had to pay for bottled water. We should have left then! The food was good quality and fairly quick, but again no hint of a smile. No bread was served with the meal....

When will we learn, if the restaurant is nearly empty it is for a good reason! Took coat of on entering but had to put back on and keep on, very cold inside. Poor tasting food, doubt anything was fresh, seasoning non existsant, more adds-ons to the bill than loan players at Watford! AVOID

Perfect location, but real tourist food with neglect for quality of food. No apologies, just cash and go.
40 minutes have passed before the dishes were finally put on the table. My wife ordered only vegetable soup and it tasted like they pour a whole bag of salt into it. We charged 49 Euro, but got very bad memory on this restaurant.
We sat by the canal and it was very stinky throughout. Gnocchi and pasta were okay but taste almost similar. We couldn't finish our meal hence asked for the remaining meal to-go however they told us they don't have packing material. The remaining half of the pasta had to go into waste. Service was okay until they cleared our plates...

The staff were very friendly and attentive, and our meal was lovely. I was a bit suprised at the 12% service charge, but saw it when I sat down, so no surprises. A lovely, leisurely lunch on a very hot day - I'd definatly return.
