Letdown @ Domvs

Delicacies of Desire: White Truffle.

Chef Lino Sauro.

A reputation for fine dining. A recent make-over.

A re-launch of the restaurant with a new menu.

I was convinced. I had high expectations. I was sorely disappointed.

The new decor was boring, the lighting was so dim as to depress, the background music was dodgy enough to irritate.

Passable food in teeny portion is served up in fancy style at exorbitant price.

Not my idea of a good evening out.

No more ristorantes for me. I will stick to trattorias and pizzerias for Italian food henceforth.

i still stick to pontini and spizzico for casual italian.

for fine dining italian, there seemed to be alot of unstability in the scene right now. will see which restaurant surfaces when it has stabilized.

suziewong - dessert is chocolate lava cake with walnut ice-cream on the side. it is acceptable. presentation is great in the restaurant. food is very mediocre.
