L' Archetto - Speisekarte

Very nice sea food, the risotto with crab was delicious and also polenta with tuna and great mushrooms. Also a cosy and creative ambience, welcoming staff. Thanks for the great evening!

The host is there for a reason. Let them guide you through the night and suggested a menu. This is a fish affair. Simple and delicate with good balance of taste. I had the antipasti choices.

Finally kids got chicken nuggets and french fries. Only one thing that I was...

Other restaurants in bocca might have a more elegant dining area, waiters with white shirts, bigger wine glasses and other things commonly associated with fine dining. However when it comes down to perfectly prepared Italian dishes, sometimes with a well imagined twist, and the surprising presentation, this restaurant was my favourite for the week. Not just that, the host also went an extra mile for us. Unsure whether they did fried potatoes she told us she would ask about it, and we got a plate of thinly sliced fried potatoes cuts, just thick enough not to be called chips. Delicious. The other plates were exquisite from the beginning to the end. Linguine with calamari and olives, cooked shr...
