Cons:

"The main courses were a bit weak I think, great ideas, good ingredients but something was missing."
"I ordered tiramisu but I didn’t like it because I couldn’t get any taste of coffee and unfortunately they put some strawberry sauce on it(shouldn’t be) and fresh strawberries."
"The only thing we didn't enjoy was the goat cheese, cheesecake.. but I think it's more of an acquired taste."
"A pasta with mascarpone and lemon sauce tasted like they just dumped a bunch of heavy cream on the pasta, faint lemon taste."
"Ordered proscutto pizza, way too salty, meatballs were bland, pasta was drowned in sauce, porkchops tasted like unseasoned meat."
"The pizza's ingredients seemed second-hand, and again the chef missed the mark."
