I have been to this restaurant a few times, abd always had a good experience. However it was a while since my last visit and I am afraid to say the food was very poor. I am Italian so I kown perfectly well how to judge my cuisine. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was very good. But the food, which at the end of the day is the most import part, was truly unimpressing. A starter of bresaola was just a bunch of thick slices of bresaola with a slice of lemon, no shaved parmesan, no shaved celery, or mushrooms. No oil. No pepper. The saddest looking plate, and very booring taste. My seabass filet was probably the worst I have ever eaten. In fact I could not bring myself to eat it. It was not fresh. Sorry but I can cook at a very decent level and I can taste if a fish is not fresh. In particular as it was completely without seasoning of any kind. Just a disproportionate salty taste. I cook wild seabass in salt crust all the time. Maybe Mr Locatelli can come to my house and taste how it should be done. But I cannot imagine he has tasted what they serve in his restaurant for a long time. If he did he would agree with me. To finish our truly unpleasant dinner a very soury lemon sorbetto and some remarably not good sweets and chocolate (that is quite an achievement, to offer bad sweets!). The Restaurant, after seeing that I had not eaten the fish, very kindly (and without being asked) took the cost off the bill. But that is not the point. I was looking forward to a great dinner, and I was let down. After having brought my guests there I can safely say it will not happen again. Signor Locatelli, mi scusi se mi permetto, ma le consiglio di passare un pochino di tempo nella sua cucina e vedere cosa viene servito. Io sono di Bologna, e da noi con il cibo non si scherza. Distinti saluti
