| - Everything you need to know is in the reviews - but let me break it down for you. BEST view of the fountains, hands down! But, the entire restaurant doesn't necessarily have a good view. Also, quite pricey - to be expected given the quality of the chef, the food and the wine list. Negative reviews of this place tend to cluster on those two issues.
So - what did we do? We went for a LATE lunch - you know, that time of day where no one really is eating? Like 2:00 p.m. Rolled in, the place was mostly dead, asked to sit outside for a prime view of the fountains that begin at 3 p.m. Ordered a bottle of wine, leisurely enjoyed the wine, ordered some appetizers & salads. Then we shared a couple of the pizzas (the fig one was to DIE for) and each ordered an entree as well (I got the ravioli and my partner got something with lamb that was amazing!). We communicated to our server that we planned on a leisurely lunch and he was fantastic at being attentive but giving us space to enjoy each other's company and the view. Best of both worlds this way - an amazing meal (still pricey, even at lunch, but about half what you'd pay at dinner), an awesome view (by the timing getting to choose our seating - especially since we rolled out by the 5 pm dinner rush), and a high quality dining experience. Try it. You won't be disappointed!
