Casa Angelina

To begin with, you arrive at a shabby hotel that looks like a no-star flophouse from the outside. At the reception, nice ladies escort you to the elevator, you go up, and here begins what might be your worst gastronomic journey in a restaurant, one that inexplicably received this one Michelin star. You sit on a terrace that more closely resembles a roadside diner than a restaurant. It's uncomfortable. There's no atmosphere or concept that is implied in Michelin-starred restaurants. That is, the setting and interior prepare you in advance for this "delightful" food. I was, unfortunately, so upset after the amuse-bouche that I didn't even bother to photograph the subsequent "works of art" from the local chef. I have neither the strength nor the desire to describe these 3 "sculptures." For the appetizer, "suckling pig" was announced, but in terms of taste/texture/dryness, it was a pig that had seen better days. The ravioli is simply an anti-top. They felt as if they were from a supermarket freezer, reheated, doused with Campbell's tomato sauce, garnished, and served. Meanwhile, my husband's pasta (the signature dish, with prawns and lemon sauce) was, according to him, not bad (but I still think that after the amuse-bouche, everything tasted good to him). Before the main course, they brought us a "surprise" from the chef, and it was a real surprise. Have you ever eaten pasta with pumpkin puree? Can you imagine the taste? Better not. But if you want to, welcome to this diner. You'll open new horizons for your taste buds. Spoiler: they won't like it. For the main course, there was the only edible dish—beef cheeks. They weren't the best, but they were at least edible. The service was good; plates were cleared on time, and they explained the sous (sauce?) on your plate. But what finished us off was the fact that they, you see, don't bring toothpicks. Want to use one? Go to the toilet. It's improper to pick your teeth in the dining room. So, the chef can shock people with terrible food, but you, please, go to the water closet. I've never seen that anywhere, not even in three-star restaurants. The price is normal for a starred restaurant. I don't understand the rave reviews; these people don't understand food at all and haven't eaten in decent high-end restaurants. If you want to ruin your evening and eat poorly, then of course you can go, but I definitely don't recommend it.

Un Piano Nel Cielo delivers a truly refined dining experience worthy of its Michelin star. The plating was exquisite, every dish was beautifully balanced in flavor, and the ambiance was absolutely on point—elegant, romantic, and elevated. Service was impeccable, though at times almost too attentive, making it a bit challenging to have an uninterrupted conversation with my friend. That said, our dinner was a lovely experience overall. While I found the atmosphere slightly overstated for my personal taste, if you’re seeking an ultra-elegant, fine dining experience with flawless presentation, this is exactly the place to go.

Piano Nel Cielo was the perfect place to end our honeymoon in Italy! The views were spectacular and the service was outstanding. We felt pampered and catered to the whole night. We had the five course tasting menu plus an extra meat course. All of the food was delicious except my husband and I did not care for the squid and pasta dish which had a very strong squid flavor without any actual squid. We also felt a little overwhelmed with three different bread courses which seemed excessive with the food, although they all were delicious. That was okay though because the rest of the food was delicious! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to celebrate a special night!

My wife and I came here for her 40th birthday and they made it a very memorable experience. The staff are some of the sweetest people we met on our trip and make the dining experience great. They did a great job using all the local ingredients to make this an experience very different from any other restaurant we've been to.
