Marte's Reviews

This is my second favourite french restaurant in town.
The big protagonist is food!
The waiter was good in guiding me through the wine list and I had a lovely white wine to pair with my fish menu.
I found the decor too neutral and standard. I would like it to be a bit more personalised.
I went back there with a group of 10 people and we were all happy with the experience.
Excellent desserts and top level cheese board!! A dream for cheese lover…a little comment to add on this. Some of the guests were french and were really surprised when they were offered savoury buiscuits to go with the cheese.
They've immediatly called the waiter back asking for some baguette!!

I'm Italian and I totally agree with you guys!
It's such a shame to keep our BAD habits when we've got a chance to change and to learn from other cultures.
The manager/staff of this restaurant are not clear about the difference between being professional and being friendly(or at least pretend to be).
In this case it's a real shame because food is proper italian food and pizza is great!
Lets put it this way…this is one of the example of the old style Italian migration culture. You go in a different country and pretend you're still home ignoring any chance of improving your precious knowledge. It doesn't work like this anymore Portobello crew! Com'on!!
After all of this social insight…I'm stil going back there because I like the food, the location is convenient…and I know how to survive in the Italian jungle :) !
