Food

Tuna Tarare (€15) This dish was all about freshness – the tuna was super tender and paired perfectly with the creamy yogurt. Light and delicious.
Raw Fish (€18) A beautiful platter of raw fish, including tuna, scampi, and prawns, all balanced with a touch of fruit for a refreshing twist. It’s the kind of dish that feels like summer on a plate.
Cacio e Pepe (€12) A creamy, peppery classic that’s both comforting and satisfying. It’s simple but done right.
Tagliolini with Shellfish Ragout and Zucchini Flowers (€18) This one was a surprise, the combo of shellfish and zucchini flowers was unexpected but totally worked. It was a unique dish that I really enjoyed.
Tiramisu (€5) A classic dessert, rich and creamy, the perfect way to round off the meal.
Panna Cotta with Fruit Syrup (€6) The real showstopper of the night. The panna cotta was so smooth, and the fruit syrup gave it the perfect sweetness without being overwhelming. A must-try!
