    Tonight there were 8 of us and as usual had a great time. After cocktails our appetizers arrived which were shared by all. Our main dishes were all served hot and delicious and just as ordered. Thereafter, we had some hot drinks and shared 3 desserts. All in all, a nice way to spend the evening with friends. Already, have two more reservations booked.

    The setting in the Versace mansion is perfect. The fountain, pool, tile work, statues and tapestries are the perfect setting for traditional Italian dining. The ocean air breeze flowing over the open southern wall by the pool perfectly complements the vibe in this ristorante with an authentic trattoria feel. Somehow, I wasn’t even annoyed by the constant picture taking of influencers and other diners as the setting is more like - how could you not? The medium rare lamb chops and truffle gnocchi were perfect. The desserts are a demonstration of the talent of both the chef and the servers. Try the tiramisu to see what I mean.
