"I recently visited Ritorno with a friend for a dinner. The atmosphere was intimate and the modernized interior was extremely fashionable. The terrace surrounding the restaurant, besides the huge representation of Italian wines behind the bar, there was an authentic feeling. The service was very friendly and friendly. Ritornos specializations presented in small, tapas-style dishes, very elegant. For the starters we had the Pizza Fritta, a charcoal pizza, accompanied by a Camembert cheese fondant, which is an ideal serving size for a entrée and tasted fantastic! The main thing consisted of Fassona beef tars, tuna tars with avocado and avocado cream, grilled octopus with Sicilian ratatouille, slowly baked beef with Ragu Tagliatelle, meerrot salmon and serrated spinach, Turnip Langoustine ragu with homemade cavatelli, pistachios of bronte and one side of the flower coal. All these dishes were freshly prepared and had a real taste of genuine Italian cuisine. There wasn't too much of any court and I couldn't make any mistakes. Then the homemade apple tea came with vanilla ice cream for dessert, which is the perfect sweet to finish the meal. The fact that it is homemade (and tasty) was really added to the general authenticity of the restaurant. We had a nice evening in Ritorno’s and would recommend it to friends! It was warm and welcoming and the food was not disappointed. My only regret is that I no longer tried the famous cocktails they are proud of and that looked amazing. I can't wait to come back soon!"

"This place is beautifully decorated and looks fabulous. Yep, that's all I've got, oh, and the scallops were perfectly cooked.When we arrived I was looking forward to dining here. Upon opening the menu I was disappointed. There is a good range of starters but sadly, the mains lacked variety. Of dishes, are beef burgers, are steak and are fish. Ok if you like red meat but if you're vegetarian it seems you're out of luck. The scallops in my starter came done to a T' but unfortunately the big chunks of chorizo and undressed salad were not appealing. For my main I chose the dover sole filets. A delicate fish, it was way overcooked. They came heavily crumbed and deep-fried. The salad looked like it came straight out of a cooking show big pieces of tomato, cucumber sliced on an angle and again no dressing. A dry dish that not even the thick sauce' on the side could moisten. We decided against dessert and went for liqueur coffees instead. These arrived lukewarm and in a wine glass *sigh.At (incl. service) for people, courses each, liq coffees and a bottle of wine did I think it was money well spent? Not in my opinion. I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar and having a few cocktails but I would not return for the food.Just a note on the service too. Our bottle of wine stayed on the table in its bucket for the whole of our visit. We were left to top up ourselves whilst watching the staff leaning on their station most of the time with their arms folded having a catch-up and drinking hot drinks. When I go to a nice-looking place with these prices I expect at least attentive service and great food, unfortunately we didn't get either. Whilst our server was polite the skill was lacking."
