I just ate here; thanks for recommending it.
Mozzarella and Proscuitto di Parma
Black Truffle Ravioli
Sea Bass
Chocolate Cake topped with ricotta and pear
Everything was good. If I had to do it over I would probably order a white truffle dish instead of the ravioli (I hadn't eaten truffles in a while and had forgotten that black truffles are not my favorite. The dish was still good though)
This was a lot of food; I hadn't eaten in about a day (jet lag; unfortunately I slept all day) and I still didn't manage to finish the dessert (which is a shame because it was extremely good). I would suggest one less dish on a "normal" appetite.
The price was reasonable too; €88 for all this food, a beer, 2 bottles of water (750 mL each) and an espresso.
I like the hotel as well. Certainly the room is small (I got upgraded to a deluxe room; it's still tiny) but the shower is good (very hot water; rainfall shower; good pressure) and the bed is extremely good quality (very firm and comfortable; my back feels good despite sleeping for so long). The blackout curtains keep the room nice and dark for sleeping too.
There are lots of very beautiful luxury hotels around here, but if you don't want to spend that kind of money this is a very good option.
Unfortunately I slept through breakfast (by about 6 hours) so I can't comment on that yet.
