Was really tasty... BUT.. We asked octopus (one of the specialty), they said there were none anymore. Then we asked the lamb cooked 3 different way (one of the specialty) but... There were none... (While a lot of restaurant warn you when you have to book it or when it's limited amount for the day, they notify it nowhere. But they do for the Al vongole. So why not for their specialties if not to bring clients?). In the end, they told us they had only 2 specialties/carne dishes out of 5 or 6. So we asked gnochetti 4 cheese. And without even warning... They did bring penne... Not gnochetti... Saying it was globally the same because it was fresh (luckily it was...) After asking for bread, we received quite lame bread with no butter (see pics) while they should have yummy bread : they do bruschettas. But seems not worth it for clients as a side. Also, when we asked what was on the "bruschetta specials", they couldn't tell us... The answer was "a lot of things". So, to summarize : yummy food but not the service I expect from a restaurant. Especially for the specialties that are promoted on their website but not present and for not warning when they change the dish of their client. Therefore 2 stars for the global experience : it can be as yummy as possible, if it's not what you wanted, you're not having the minimal service required from such establishment
