The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant are extremely elegant, subdued tones, you feel welcome. It feels like a special place and experience. Expert service, good sommelier, all these elements match the 3 star expectations. We chose a la carte and most of what we ate was excellent. However, it was not a "sans-faute". Four dishes were at best average: the eel in the Po river was nicer to look at than to eat, as the fish was tasteless. The branzino (seabass) was also quite bland. The tortellini in broth were not as good as in a Bologna trattoria. Worst was the Tiramisu souffle that was simply a failure (a bad coffee mixture). Conversely some dishes were exceptional: the foie gras croccantino was outstanding, the lobster with two foams was so rich of flavour, so was the scampi with caviar. The fives ages of Parmesan would please any cheese lover. The mallard was a bit "mono-taste" and overpowering but still quite good. All amuse-bouche were creative and brilliant. Bread is superb and the grissini are best in the world! Overall a nice experience but not up to the expectation nor the world ranking.
