We visited this establishment yesterday, March 8th. It wasn't our first time; we returned two years later, finding the outdoor area of the garden in the same state of neglect. Lunch wasn't the best back then, but this time, everything was truly awful. Lunch cost €45 per person, from appetizer to dessert, and unfortunately, everything was of poor quality from start to finish, even the coffee was undrinkable. Fried food was mushy, like a bottle of wine, and the conchiglioni were dry and hard, prepared the day before. The black piglet was horrendous and disgusting, served tasteless, a single, large, double piece on the plate, the meat inedible. The mimosa cake was a slice of ice filled with soft, tasteless pineapple cubes. The food was a nightmare. The owners were arrogant and presumptuous, and the service was terrible. They even made us pay before lunch began (reservations are only accepted after paying a 50% deposit). The only positive note is the piano bar, wasted in a place like this. I don't recommend it and I'm surprised to read so many positive reviews... bah!
