Il Giardiniello

We had lunch at this place, which we already knew from the past, but I noticed that the prices have skyrocketed unreasonably! 2 first courses, one seafood and one meat, a fried seafood platter, a mineral water, and a small Coke; I paid the amount of 97 euros. Spaghetti with clams (from the menu) served with 10/12 bean clams. Frankly, for those who earn their money through sacrifice, it is better to avoid it; you can find the same quality for much less. And Manila clams instead of bean clams... Look around carefully!

Very tasty and reasonably priced. Huge wine list. Risotto gnocchi was fabulous. Cosy on a wet afternoon.

Our dinner here left me with mixed feelings: the setting is lovely, the food moderately good but not remarkable (the Caprese salad featured barely ripe tomatoes), but the service was definitely subpar. All of the wait staff seemed disengaged if not downright curt, and we waited for long stretches between courses, including waiting for our final bill. Perhaps they are tired of tourists after the summer season? I would not return.

We returned to this place after several years and the atmosphere is still the same; beautiful outdoor terrace, covered by lemon trees; convivial and fast service. Dishes were not exceptional and prices were definitely too high.
