Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was with my wife to celebrate ours. 26 years of marriage, we were treated very well. Fresh fish of excellent choice, very accurate wine list, with a number of proposals contained but well selected. Spectacular Collio Sauvignon of VENICA Ronco del Cerò.

EMBARRASSING.
Arrived at 21 in 4 , we order at 21:30 with the lady coughing ALL the time of the order (continuously), appetizer arrived exactly 35 minutes later , in the meantime we were brought focaccia with the first 3 hot pieces and the remaining frosty (recycled), in two they ordered the raw that was full of fruit including watermelon that had nothing to do with it and the quality of the fish less than mediocre, expected in another hour for the first ones who confirmed the low quality of the arrive and the food , last time in life we set foot in this place .
Ah I add that the wait for the first was justified by saying that the pasta is handmade AT THE MOMENT , that is, kneaded and rolled out and cooked at the moment: IT WAS PITY, it was milky white and tasteless.
In the end perhaps we understood why the wait was so long, the waiters and owner were continuously out smoking

Arrived at 13.00 and following repeated requests the final coffee arrived at 16.10!
Non-professional staff, we were told that there was a person missing in the kitchen and that to avoid waiting too long we were advised the tasting menu, explaining in a unclear way and in a hurry what it consisted of, we opted for the choice of individual dishes apart from the appetizer and we were not told that some of those chosen from the menu were not there.
My spaghetti with seafood were cooked, between the appetizers the cod was cold and in the grill the swordfish hard and not edible.
Bad service, the dishes didn't all arrive at the table together, a diner received his when we were all done.
I'm not going back.

We have been customers of this restaurant for several years and over time it has proved to be an excellent seafood restaurant, excellent quality of fish and also the portions are generous.
It happens, however, that on occasions a bit “crowded” like this evening when my wife and I used the takeaway service to celebrate Valentine’s Day unfortunately we had a bad experience. Fish not of excellent quality, the pasta and all the dishes gave the impression of having been prepared for a long time. Occasions like this call into question the seriousness of the restaurant; if you overstep your leg and out of greed you want to do more than your abilities it is easy for this to be at the expense of the quality, calling into question very much the excellent opinion we had of you.

We had been a couple of years ago in May and I liked everything. Last night except for the excellent wine and the focaccia...what can I say...very poor quality fish. Lobster tortelli with cubes of other fish (not mentioned on the menu) not good, ditto my daughter's first course, the fish not good, fried with lots of anchovies and a few squid and prawns (battered vegetables on the menu, absent). Little choice of desserts, tiramisu, ice cream and a cup of cream…. It was my birthday, very disappointed.
I have to compliment her because my daughter is allergic and they took the responsibility of serving her dishes. My first one wasn't put on the bill.

We returned again to this place where once again we ate really extraordinary fish, congratulations again. Unfortunately, however, there has been a serious disservice. Despite the Reservation our table was already occupied and they set up a "makeshift" one next to the entrance of the bathrooms. We had all lunch with the other diners coming and going from the bathroom. I believe that this in a high-end restaurant, such as L Araba Fenice, should not happen. I also believe that in such a situation the least you should do is offer sweets, rather than a bottle of wine, or bitters. But nothing, they just apologized. That's too bad. Now it's not to be controversial but I just didn't like it. We will probably return anyway because I repeat the food deserves.

All dishes of absolute quality, and choice of wines with really good quality / price ratio, as well as for the total bill. Particularly appreciated the printed list of off-menus of the day with the price on the side, a rare thing. Very good, we come and we will still come often

I give 5 stars for the quality of the food and the goodness of the dishes as well as the abundance of the dishes but. due to an inadequate service, my overall opinion is strongly influenced and negative.
I'm sorry because I repeat, the dishes were delicious, but the staff who served us were rude, arrogant, arrogant and unprofessional. I am referring to the middle-aged lady with gray hair and a rather unaccommodating and kind manner.
Throughout the dinner I felt tension and nervousness and this also had an impact on my friends at the table.
Experience not to be repeated, if I were in the owner's shoes I would have a chat with the dining room staff to avoid customers never showing up at the entrance again.

I discovered this place thanks to a couple of friends and since then I continue to frequent it .. very welcoming and especially without confusion. Great for intimate dinners or for those who want an evening of good food and relaxation. Sublimely cooked fish and generous portions. Value for money in the norm

This was a fun surprise in the out skirts of Fidenza, Italy. We were welcomed into this simple space. Good acoustics and simple menu focused on fish. They offer a set menu or you can choose from their basic menu.
We decided to order the fried fish platter to start and it was plenty for the 4 of us to share and perfectly cooked.
Then we had a couple upon of pasta dishes and one bowl of assorted shell fish. The pasta with small river crabs was delicious but hard to eat and a very large portion.
Then we shared a main course of Branzino and fall vegetables.
The wine list had a good selection of local wines. Well priced food and wine.

When the desire for fish assails me, when an evening with my legs under the table wants to achieve a positive result, I come to this restaurant.
Often with the carpaccione alone I come out satisfied, to the point that I can not wait to return.

Restaurant suggested by the structure where we were staying. The place is cute and cozy and latin relaxing. The staff was very courteous and attentive. We ate some excellent quality raw and an excellent paccheri dish. As a councillor absolutely!
