Best Frozen Pina Colada ever if u dont come here you are truly missing out. Not to mention the absolute best service we even had chips and delicious olives. Thank you again Sam for the great drinks and great service:)
The service and atmosphere here are great...but the food is expensive and completely misses the mark. It is too bad because the location is great, in front of the Hyatt Centric Murano, which is a nice hotel; and next to the water, with great outdoor dining atmosphere. The food was disappointing. I had the lasagna and no doubt it was just frozen lasagna heated up (similar to or maybe even Stouffers brand). I wouldn't even be that disappointed by it but, come on, this is Italy...and for what you are charging...a little better quality is not too much to ask for. We did like the fact they kept later hours as every other restaurant on the island seems to close early.
