    First time dining here. Absolutely loved the decor. Very nice setting. Food and service was great. We pretty much tried every tapa on the menu and my favorite was the paella bomb. The place is dog friendly. I bought my little mini schnauzer puppy. Place was a little loud but he slept through it all.

    It’s often the case that a new restaurant takes time to work out their system. That is NOT the case at Nettuno, where we dined on grand opening night. Chef Giuseppe Musso has brought his team with him, upped his game, and hit the ground running. The setting is fabulous, bright, big yet somehow intimate, perhaps due to the well curated art collection adorning the walls. Our meal: antipasti…anchovy shortbread (heaven), focaccia accompanied by an amazing olive oil. Primi…bucatini al cacio e pepe, one of chef Musso’s signature dishes with his own well-executed twist, squid ink fettuccine ai frutti di mare, delectable. Accompanied by a glass of La Quercia di Montepulciano. I dolci were the panna cotta alle fragole and a panforte con pistachio e panna. I highly recommend Nettuno, and I’m sure reservations will be quite necessary in the very near future. The restaurant’s opening coincided with the grand opening of the refurbished Fairmont Breakers hotel. Before dinner belly up to the adjacent bar, and enjoy an after dinner drink in the lounge (also adjacent). There will be live jazz. Also worthwhile is a trip up the elevator to the sky room restaurant, with fabulous views of the Queen Mary and harbor, and the Halo bar one floor higher. Soon to be a downtown hotspot.
