| - The ambiance was unremarkable, it neither enhanced nor interfered with my dining experience.
I started with the fritto misto which was satisfactory. Shrimp, calamari and cod were lightly battered and generally tender. The dipping sauce light and not particularly exciting.
I followed this with lamb chops. They were cooked just right, and fairly tender, but under-flavored: the rosemary and roasted garlic mentioned on the menu were difficult to detect.
As my main, I ordered the duo of duck: a roasted breast, and leg confit. The breast was acceptable, but a little on the chewy side; similarly, the leg was okay, but a little dried out. The blueberry balsamic sauce was dull with muted flavors. Further, the duck flesh itself was not as flavorful as I expect duck to be.
Finally, I had the mixed berry crepe for dessert. It was filled with a vanilla gelato which allegedly had berries mixed into it, but they were barely noticeable. The crepe itself was a little stiff (i.e. stale) as though it had been sitting around for a while.
In contrast to the food, the service was quite good. The waiter even turned up the air-conditioning without us asking (I think he overheard us saying we were hot).
Overall, the food was not bad or offensive, but really quite boring and mediocre. I will avoid this restaurant in the future.
