Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We choose one of the top rated (tripadvisor) Italian restaurants in Puerto Rico, but what a disappointment. My spaghetti carbonara was tasteless (pasta was al dente, good), the selection of wine was really bad ( Italy is one of countries producing the best wines). The...toilet was a disaster, the air dryer did not work, the toilett was broken, you had to put your finger “inside” the toilette to flush. The staff was very nice, but the rest was not good. Last time i went to tripadvisor to select a restaurant.More

Bolshy, rude waitress. Seemed to almost insist we have the specials and seemed to don a passive aggressive reaction when chose something else. Broken glass on the table. No napkins. Having long finished our starter the waitress came over and asked us what we wanted...again for our main course having evidently forgotten. Waited an hour for our main courses, only to watch them being given to another couple by mistake. Finally at the end of the meal, I asked for the bill only to be abruptly told to wait.  Then, insult to injury, when we came to pay they announced it was cash only even though there wasn't a single sign, indication or warning anywhere. My husband had to then withdraw cash from a nearby cash point and incur charges, so needless to say, we didn't tip. I noticed no tax declared on the receipt which makes you wonder what is being declared to the tax officials. A ruined last evening, don't make the same mistake. More

Loved this restaurant. Great food and wine. Focaccia starter was delicious and the ravioli with tomato and gorgonzola sauce was heavenly. Small menu but I don't think that's a bad thing and there were a number of different dishes I wanted to try. We chose...valpolicella off the wine list but Sami recommended a better wine for the same price. It was lovely, so much so we were compelled to buy another bottle! Sami was a discreet but helpful host who was happy to make recommendations for food and wine but left us to enjoy our meal in peace. We lingered over the second bottle for a while enjoying the view of the harbour and didn't feel pressured to move out as in some restaurants. Very highly recommended.More

We had two different pizzas and two different pasta dishes. The pizzas were just as they should be, with a perfect crust. The dishes were just the right size and the wine was very good.

My boyfriend (M32) and I (F29) visited Gran Canaria and had seen great reviews of this restaurant and therefore had to try it. When we arrived we were the first ones there, which we thought was only because we were there early. I ordered the...Lasagna and my boyfriend ordered the Carbonara. As we ordered, the waitress told us that they only made one type of pasta each day, as it was homemade (so they only had tagliatelle pasta). So I had to change my order and we got Carbonara and Bolognese with tagliatelle. The carbonara had a pungent cheese taste and smell. The Bolognese was served with some raw pasta, really bland taste and dry sauce. We ate extremely little, as it tasted so bad, and got a little attitude from the waitress about the food we left behind. However, we just told her we were full. At the end, we had to wait a while to pay because only one of them could actually create the bill. So one waitress just stood there waiting for the other one to do the bill.More

we are very fond of Italian, and hoped this would be a good experience - considering what tripadvisor showed us. Well, there were 2 people at work, which means that there was a lot of waiting. We ordered pasta Carbonara and pasta with tomato sauce,...and shared a bottle of rosé wine. We got the wine quickly, probably drank half the bottle before the food arrived... the carbonara was like a lump of melted pasta and grainy sauce, burnt bacon and little taste. the tomato sauce was boring, I asked for salt and pepper - I was told to taste the food before I added spices (with the greatest confidence..). Cons: boring and tasteless, time consuming. Pros: pleasant service, perfect amount of food, good wine. Tips for improvement: replace the parmesan with a better variety, the one we got tasted nothing and seemed old?, fresh basil, carbonara made from eggs and parmesan - try this and we'll be happy to come back 🙏🏻More

Boy oh boy!! Don’t usually leave reviews but I feel the duty to do so for this restaurant as I feel these good reviews on here are either paid for, or drunk people that had no clue what was happening. First the waitress missed one...of the starters we asked for then we told her no to worry about it anymore as we had finished and the main was on the way, to, all of a sudden, the third starter arrived with the mains. Second all we could hear was the chef arguing in the kitchen and complaining about our orders when we were literally the only table there. Everything we asked the chef would say they didn’t have and we had to pick something else. We could hear her from our table and they didn’t realise I could understand. Third When the main came, neither my husband or I liked our mains so we left most of it. The chef came to our table and was extremely rude and aggressive asking why didn’t we eat? We just said we were full. Fourth when we asked for the bill the waitress lied saying the card machine wasn’t working and my husband had to walk out and run after a cash machine while the chef stood watching him where he went even tho I was still sitting at the table waiting. There was no sign advising that they didn’t accept cards, they waited for us to eat to tell us so we had no choice but the run after a machine to pay. Fifth the food was average, nothing special like most of these reviews in our opinion. The bruschetta came on this hard pizza like bread base and my pizza came with raw mushrooms. My husband’s main was just average nothing special. The only thing we liked was the panacota and the croquettes. And last we were very angry already at the whole experience and how the chef was being so arrogant to us we just wanted to pay and leave. They took our cash which had a lot of change and didn’t want to give us the change and when I said we were waiting for our change (no tip due to the experience) the chef was calling us all sort of names in Spanish and complaining about us not leaving tips and how we were this and that when I could understand everything. I wish I had listen to the bad reviews. We gave the benefit of doubt as this place has so many good reviews. I don’t feel these good reviews are genuine. Not only it was wasted money but the whole evening was ruined.More

When I visited I didn't see any as I wasn't intentionally looking for them but the owners are very accommodating so I'm sure they would have some available. Hope this helps 😀
