On the second floor of the Observatoire building (aptly named), this is the only restaurant to offer a breathtaking view of Port Louis Bay and the harbor from its large, shaded terrace, open to the four winds. Whether in the breeze or in the quiet dining room, you can enjoy well-executed Italian cuisine based on fresh produce: antipasti to share, fresh homemade pasta, pizzas (ah this Pollo and Tartufo!) and a selection of dishes just like over there, including vegan and/or gluten-free plates. And bring me a little Limoncello with the Tiramisu!

The chicken and mushroom pizza we ordered were extremely dry, and the mushrooms were oddly chewy. The four seasons pizza was too salty. The only thing that we enjoyed were the cocktails and juice.
At some point, a persistent and painfully loud smoke detector alarm went off for at least 5 minutes, adding to the overall unpleasant dining experience.
When he presented the bill, Sachin dropped it on the table without saying a word.
We wanted to speak to the manager but he was away so we communicated our dissatisfaction to Sachin, expressing our concerns about the overall experience. He failed to offer any apology for the subpar service or address the issues raised.
We have no intention of returning to this establishment.
The freshly made pasta is incredible, the risotto is so creamy and delicious.
Seafood dishes are cooked to perfection and really tasty.
One thing that annoyed me a little is that one waiter told me that there were no seats available and didn't even put me down on the waiting list so I had to wait for another waiter to ask to be placed on a waiting list. I didn't get notified after a seat was available and found out Charisse my friend went in to confirm, so faster communication when seats are available would be fantastic, otherwise, everything was good.
