The food was top notch, fantastic, up there with some of the best I've had in Italy. Loved the truffle pasta. And what a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, on both of the occasions we were let down by the service. It seemed like we were ignored as a result of sitting away from the main part of the restaurant, right down by the soft play, though all the other spots seemed to be reserved weeks in advance. On the first occasion we waited the best part of 2 hours for any food, by which time we didn't have a lot of wine left. They seem to work very hard on the main part of the terrace. Hopefully we'll have better luck next year.
