I had dined at this restaurant a few years ago after they first opened. The food was not particularly good. The chef/owner passed by my table and asked how everything was. I told him that my ravioli was served cold. His response was: "Hopefully the next time you come it will be better." Needless to say, there was no next time. A week ago we were invited to join a group for dinner so despite our earlier experience we agreed to try it again. The chef/ owner took our order. I think people think he is friendly and gregarious. In reality he uses that impression for virtually constant upsetting throughout the meal. The prices of the specials are not mentioned. No sides are included. I ordered corvina Sicilian style and was told that it should be accompanied by white rice. I said okay. When it arrived, there was a bed of potatoes under the fish. They charged $3 for a tiny portion of white rice, Seriously? We were served some very nice chopped marinated hot peppers with onions in respone to a request for hot sauce. One of our group asked if it was available for purchase. They brought 2 jars to the table without further comment. We were charged $6 each without asking if we wanted them. Frankly, I don't understand why people like this place. The food is mediocre at best and I am surprised people tolerate the constant upsetting. Perhaps they don't look at their bill but the whole experience feels to me Like an assault on your wallet. There is much better Italian food in Panama City. If you like good value, I suggest you skip this place.
