  As part of the Dining Week, we received 2 excellent appetizers (octopus and beef carpaccio) and 2 great starters (fettuccine and pizza). All these dishes were well presented, fresh and delicious. So we got a great disappointment when we saw our main: chicken.
  The chicken dish looked horrible, nothing like the previous ones, the gnocchi riccota were sad and soggy, the broth was bland and boring, there were some stale mushrooms floating somewhere in the dish and the chicken was boiled and tasteless. I repeat: A huge disappointment. We mentioned that to the waiter and he was really nice about it and even offered to change the dish for us but we refused.
  After that, came 2 disappointing desserts. The dessert options were not great, either ice cream or coffee, or coffee infused cake. The affogato was bland and it only tasted like a very watery americano. And the chocolate ice cream was just that, a chocolate ice-cream, nothing fancy, nothing exciting.

  Overall, we went home unsatisfied. The first dishes were so great that we had our expectations high.
