Beautiful setting with a great view, friendly staff and pleasant music. Carpaccio and mushroom risotto very good indeed, arancini dry and without flavour. When told this, waiter said “Oh” and walked off. Expresso martinis very good. Would absolutely return but please fix the arancini !

I had to ask 3x for drinks that were ordered upon arrival. All the food came at once - every single starter, sushi and main dish as well as kids food. The table was quite cramped. Normally kitchen and wait staff will pace the meal for you. Drinks still hadn’t come even though all the food was there. It was frustrating
