The food was good, the steak exceptionally good, pasta was good the restaurant is so expensive and not worth the price in my opinion. Also, the dessert we ordered was absolutely disgusting. I don’t remember what it was called but it was purposely burnt as part of the dessert but it tasted like we were eating coals. I had one bite and didn’t touch it after. I was shocked that they would serve such a thing.
Upscale restaurant located at Tel Aviv city center. The drinks and dishes are pricy. The cocktails are not that good (taste-wise and serving-wise) so rather to skip them and go straight to the wines.
On the dishes side- the corn ravioli and the calamari dish were amazing. The rest of the dishes were nice. Appetizers are average in taste in my opinion. The Kasata dessert was amazing and special. Service was kind and efficient. Interior design for upscale restaurant is mediocre.
5.0
The whole experience was awesome. The appetizers served were the best, on the right size and extremely tasty.
The main course also in a right size and tasteful.
More than a classic Italian restaurant, I felt it's more an Italian culinary (exquisite) experience.
With everything going so well, my expectations for the desert was very high, but it was only good (on my opinion it supposed to be great).
The staff were always pleasant and nice, paying attention if I needed anything from them.
Definitely a place to go back!

Lovely! This place has it all. Perfect atmosphere, chef-level tasty dishes, classic atmostphere, terrific service (unlike most Israeli restos) and reasonable price. The portion a bit too small, but the taste is so incredible that u forgot how small it actually is. Everything we ordered was superb, speechless level. If u looking for high quality food with great service and vibes, this is the place! (but u may not get fulled up finally lol)

Pronto during COVID-19 is offering a special menu which is based on local ingredients and a more fine-dine experience. Problem was that this fine dine experience was not as fine you would expect. Although food was great looking it was hard not to notice that they served burnt bread crackers, the buttered Asparagus was dull and was not properly salty and that the meat dish was over cooked.
The pasta and Denver cut were super good though. Service was OK, though we had to wait for some time to get attention as restaurant was understaffed.
