Both are real tourist traps, and the first expensive, the second horrendously overpriced.

I'd love to know your definition of a tourist trap-- while Corte Sconta is not cheap nor exclusively patronized by "locals" I also don't think it REMOTELY falls into the tourist trap category. Same with da Franz-- wouldn't a tourist trap need to be within the area that the least adventurous tourists tend to operate? This is surely not the case with this place! Anyway, I am not going to debate whether the food, atmosphere etc. are worth the money- those tend to be subjective....

I just think the tourist trap characterization is a bit over the top and would cause people reading this thread to avoid two very good restaurants.

Enough said.
