Enoteca Pinchiorri

This is my first three-Michelin-star experience. The service and ambiance absolutely feel three-star — polished, attentive, and effortless. But honestly, the food didn’t live up to the hype for me. Some dishes were too acidic, others too salty, and across the whole tasting menu, only one or two courses really stood out. Considering the price, it just didn’t feel worth it.

We were thrilled for this experience and walked away satisfied. The food & wine was everything you'd expect from a 3-star restaurant. What was missing was the story behind each dish - or the explanation of what we were being served. I've come to expect an in-depth description of each dish and was let down by the limited information provided throughout our tasting menu. The atmosphere was comfortable, clean, and spacious enough - we were seated in a small space with three two-person tables. The balcony in this room opened up to the ground floor where a large group was dining and being extremely loud. I hoped management would have caught this and amended it for the sake of other guests but it did not happen. Lastly, a wine glass was broken by a staff member on my table spilling liquid across my dish and my lap. It was a rough-and-tumble dining experience for a 3-star restaurant.

I truly wonder how this restaurant maintains its Michelin 3-star status, because the experience fell far short of expectations. The service was shockingly poor – staff seemed to prioritize locals and regulars, while other guests were treated dismissively. One older staff member with white hair even placed another table’s wine bottle directly in front of me, blocking my view, seemingly because I had not ordered a bottle myself. The way I was treated made me feel unwelcome, and at times I sensed a degree of prejudice in their attitude. The food was another disappointment: overly salty, uninspired, and absolutely not worth the €390 price tag. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant. For the same cost, there are far better dining experiences in Europe where guests are treated with respect and food quality matches the price.

Real classy place that truly lives up to its reputation. We were a bit apprehensive having read some not so favorable reviews but had to give this iconic restaurant a try and they did not disappoint! While not the most “inventive” cuisine, Pinchiorri just focuses on serving some fantastic, well made classic dishes. The restaurant oozes old school class and glamour, and the staff were so attentive and caring. Never felt that they tried to “up sell” as some reviews mentioned. They gave us such a wonderful anniversary celebration to remember! Is it expensive? Most certainly, but that’s the price of having such consistency and class over the many years. Really appreciated that they had different levels of wine pairings as well that showcased their huge collection of wines (their wine book needs to be seen to be believed!)

Truly bucket list experience. From the moment we stepped to the front door, service was top notch. Alejandro, Andrea, and Alberto did not disappoint. Both vegetarian and expression tasting were exceptional. With the wine pairings. Dessert was very unique in presentation and flavors.
