QUI came recommended to us by our local AirBnb hosts, who raved about the quality of the starters. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I walked in, but this experience blew me away on every level. This was by far the best meal and dining experience I had in Italy.
We started with the appetizer sampler, which came highly recommended by our server. I am so glad we asked for his recommendation! Each of the six sampler plates that came out was better than the next. They were all incredible, with the prawn and zucchini blossom being standouts for me.
After our appetizer, we were brought some olive oil ice cream to cleanse the palette. I could've eaten a gallon of it. And the meal was just getting started. Next, I chose the tagliatelle al pomodoro del Vesuvio. Somehow, this was even better than the appetizers. The pasta was so fresh and the tomato sauce was truly the freshest, best sauce I have ever tasted.
We couldn't decide on one desert, so we opted for the lemon cake and the chocolate mousse and shared. Again, both exceeded my wildest expectations. At the end of the night, our server brought us shots of limoncello and we visited for a few minutes.
The entire experience was just incredible. I knew when I left (with days still to go on my trip) that QUI was going to be my best meal in Italy, and I was right. I can't say enough about how amazing this meal and experience was - it was a highlight of my time in Italy. Just go. You won't be disappointed! read more
