The kitchen seemed to be struggling with the numbers - service was slow and the dishes presented weren't quite to the standard as we've come to expect.
For starters
Vitello Tonnato
While the vitello was nice and pink, the tonnato lacked character.
Carne Cruda
A small serve that seemed overdone with lemon.
For mains
Ravioli del Plin con burro & salvia
While the starters were just passes, this pasta dish was a bit of a fail. Undercooked ravioli, the plate swamped with water, the sage was raw and hadn't been cooked off in the butter, while the butter itself was virtually undetectable due to all the water in the plate.
Tajarin con tartufo nero
It did have a good quantity of truffle but the pasta was rather bland and undercooked.
It's a difficult decision but I'd probably pass on returning for the reason that there are so many excellent and consistently excellent places to dine in town. While the starters were passes they weren't on par with others we have had.
