"This is the nearest, and perhaps only, restaurant within walking distance of the Sangello Park Hotel where we were staying. It's busy and the hotel reception are happy to make a reservation: they offered either 7.30pm or 9pm. The establishment is remarkably efficient, both in terms of table service and the speed with which food appears from the kitchen. Such hyperactivity isn't particularly relaxing, but the restaurant's popularity, with several large groups of local Italian diners, generates a pleasant buzz. There's a good choice of mostly German bottled beers on a separate menu. Avoid the carafe of house white shown on the main menu, which was horrible; the glass of red we asked for on our second visit was much better. On the first night we both had a generously portioned, pistachio-crusted tuna steak, accompanied by roasted aubergine and green leaves, which was under-seasoned and imparted less flavour than we were hoping. We fared better on the second night: my beef strips were really tender and the octopus burger opposite looked good and came with some excellent potato wedges."
