Well the best thing about the place is it's location, stunning. The food is Italian, but not your everyday Italian and it appears that they change the menu regularly, which is a good thing. I went with friends on Thursday for degustation lunch - 7 courses, which were not spectaluar. The first course by far the best but the flavours are really quite bland. Even the horse raddish cream dots on the plate had no bite whatsoever. The only course that wasnt bland was the second last course where the lemon cello ice was sooooo strong it overpowered everything else and was really quite awful. Mix it with the Olive oil sorbet and that didn't improve matters, just left an oily yukky taste in your mouth. I am a desert person and the desert was dissapointing. It was a deep fried thing with again - not much flavour. All the food was "nice", but not something you would remember particularly. The wine is all Italian, which I guess is ok as it is an Italian restuarant.. but nothing to write home about. It's suppose to be a 2 hat restaurant??? Well, I thought that meant things like all the portions would look exactly the same - well they don't.. and just those extra attention to detail.. like I think we had the best seat in the house with a big window overlooking the stunning beach - and guess what - there was a big bird poo right in the middle of the window.. I felt like reaching out and cleaning it - that is somethin that really should have been cleaned up - it would have been easy to do. Shame as this use to be a fantastic seafood restaurant - well, perhaps that was 15 years ago.

We felt very special eating at such a renowned restaurant. The Fish was superb, cooked to perfection and even though I didn't know what I was doing with the fish knife the service staff didn't make me feel silly instead they were very helpful. Fantastic location too. Next time I'd try and get a window seat at the front of the restaurant for the perfect view.

Beautiful views and a great building right on the beach. The service is great, but some of the dishes are a little disappointing for the price. The ravioli with pecorino was gorgeous though and the meat dishes look pretty good.
