Gianni Giagoni has succumbed to the charm of the small square in the village of San Pantaleo to set down his pots and pans. Intimate and discreet, the restaurant occupies one of these typical houses of stone and canal tiles. Pots of fragrant herbs decorate the white tables. The glasses sparkle with the flame of candles or the sun. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed. The cuisine is based on the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients. The fresh pasta is prepared by Mamma Natalina who knows all the secrets. You're sure to fall in love with it.

Per quanto riguarda l’aspetto culinario, è un ristorante con cucina senza mordente, senza sapori, senza spinta. Il personale è composto da ragazzi giovani, senza competenze.
Il conto, potenzialmente di un ristorante stellato, non rispecchia la qualità della cucina. Ovviamente, il problema non è il conto (340 euro in due), ma la sproporzione tra l’offerta culinaria è il corrispettivo.
Esperienza da non ripetere. Si paga solo per la posizione nella piazzetta di San pantaleo. A questo punto, se proprio si vuol godere di questa vista, ci si può sedere al caffè Nina, un grazioso bar ubicato proprio di fronte al ristorante.
This place is a mixed bag. It looks great and it’s always packed. I think that attracts even higher demand.
The location is very nice and the restaurant looks really good, so kudos to them for that.
For us, the service was good. We had a very friendly and charismatic waiter which was very helpful with the local wine recommendation and served us some starters on the house. All of the staff was friendly and helpful and I must commend them as I think it was challenging to stay professional with the house party taking place on the terrace.
There’s not much to say about the food that wasn’t covered in the other reviews. All style, no substance and pretty uninspiring. We really wanted to like it, but none of the dishes we tried gets a higher than average rating. If you factor in the high prices (avg dish = €50), which creates higher expectations, then the food rating gets even worse.
As I mentioned in the beginning, it can be fun. But there was a strong “staged party” vibe to it as the atmosphere didn’t feel organic.
