As a travel advisor and restaurant reviewer, I went to Il Borro Tuscan Bistro ready for an exquisite dining experience. I was hugely disappointed! It’s a true shame because the cuisine was very well prepared. Everything else was a disaster. We were seated straight away and then left there with no attention for about 10 min. Finally, I flagged a server who brought menus and took our drink order. Then, nothing again! I asked for a server and two people told me their colleague would come to help us. Why does it take three people to take our order? We asked for butter. It was forgotten. We asked again. Nothing. We asked a different server and finally, we received the butter, already halfway through our bread and our appetizer. Things didn’t get better from a service perspective and although the food was quite nice, it wasn’t good enough to compensate for the poor service. The server even apologized because she knew it was bad service and when she was apologizing, she said, “I’m doing the best that I can”, in a loud voice which caused customers at the nearby tables to turn and look at us as if we were complaining. We hadn’t said a word at that point! So embarrassing. We requested the bill three times before it was brought to us. Needless to say, we will never return and I certainly won’t recommend this restaurant to my travel clients.

The fiorentina polpette were so good 😍 the atmosphere was warm, we felt really welcomed. The wine glas was expensive but good.

Einzigartige Käse- und Weinauswahl, fantastischer Prosciutto, sehr kompetente, freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Den Wine by Glass durften wir vor der Auswahl verkosten, und auch der Wein war exzellent! Top-Empfehlung!
