We came for a birthday dinner. Two diners could eat everything, one a vegan. I called beforehand to check on dining options. I was assured there was a full menu for a vegan. This was not the case.
The only starter was bread with garlic (which was quite tasty). There were three salad options and only one pasta. Everything else had cheese. If you remove the cheese from the dish it doesn't taste right and it's usually way too small.
The other problem was their assurance that the portions were 'Italian sized' which or server made clear meant small. We lived in Italy for three years and returned last summer for a visit. One of our big disappointments was that we could never order full meals (appetizer, primi, secondo, dessert) because we were full after pasta. The servings were quite large in our experience.
We had a lovely evening, but left disappointed.
