Inside Scoop
- Opt for the chef's counter seating for an engaging experience, watching the chefs prepare dishes and interacting with them.
- Be prepared for a long meal; the tasting menu can take 3-4 hours, with potential gaps between courses.
- The chef, Massimo, often interacts directly with guests, explaining dishes and adding to the lively atmosphere.
- The restaurant has a unique, edgy ambiance with dim lighting, candles, and punk music, which might not appeal to all.
- Portion sizes are small, as is typical for fine dining tasting menus, so manage expectations if you prefer larger servings.
