Ristorante Acchiappagusto - Emozioni dei Sapori

At the suggestion of a friend, I went to this place for dinner. Since there was a storm we preferred to have dinner inside. Outside, however, there is a beautiful terrace with a beautiful view of Vicenza on the west side which is very impressive in the evening. For convenience, I divide the review on four themes, inspired by "Four Restaurants" Location: the location on the hills is certainly interesting especially in summer. A barely visible sign and a Google map, if you come from Arcugnano, would make you stop first ... go further for 50-80 meters. The restaurant is apparently of medium-high range, then some details in the bathroom explain the reason for the "apparently". Rating 6 Service: the room manager is certainly a good acquaintance of the wines and also of the dishes but not of the service. If you bring me home-made bread with anchovy butter as a service, you can't leave me the same knife for all courses and it's not fair that I'm asking you. The same for the fork. Every change of course, you change the cutlery. There are meat courses and fish courses so they must necessarily be changed at every change of dish. It should be borne in mind that in the room there were three tables for a total of 6 people. Not: I asked for a change of course before the second arrived. When I got the second… the cutlery hadn't arrived yet. Rating: 4 Menu: due to COVID they told me that they have greatly reduced the menu which has about 7/8 appetizers (sea and land) more than raw fish plus 5 first and 5 seconds and 5 desserts. The dishes we took were still good. You can see the care in the preparation of the dish but, in my opinion, without logic: from octopus to quail passing through cod ... boh. I didn't find much sense in the chef's proposal which seems more made for customers than his choice. The thing I didn't understand is the disproportion of the wine list: many wines ... and the presence of Frascati on the list .. but not even a Bianco di Custoza? Could it be because they do Roman cuisine? No. Frascati may be organic but this is not an indication of better goodness or a different taste but perhaps of a healthier product. Tavernello even if organic ... I don't drink it. NB: There is no house wine on tap. Rating: 6 Account: we took a dish off the menu (pappardelle with lobster) for which we were not told the cost and I don't find it right. Could I have asked? Sure but why do I have to be embarrassed? For the rest, I can say that the chef's hand is visible and therefore the cost of the dishes is justified in part. Two first courses, two second courses, a dessert, a bottle of Prosecco (18 €), two coffees and an amaro .. 130 €. 65 € each ... too much for lobster and octopus. Some appetizers are priced similar if not higher than first and second courses. It is also true that for € 70 it is possible to have the tasting menu, drinks not included. With 65 euros you can have more. Rating: 5 Overall: I was expecting a lot more. But I believe that the will to improve is all there. I'll be back in some time to see if that's happened. If you are in the area and want something different while watching Vicenza By Night, you have an option.

What can I say .. location with a glimpse of Vicenza surrounded by greenery .. A mix of cruditè between various prawns, scampi and emotional French oysters! Selection of explosive cooked appetizers !! Finally, a signature dessert that words cannot express! Good good! Price, perhaps, high ...

An elegant but welcoming place. Well laid out and with some attention (butter with hot bread) much appreciated. We took the 8 course fish only route. All extraordinary well done and with high quality products. A small welcome entratina with a Ceviche of amberjack with Mojito. Following are the main dishes: Cannnolo with red tuna tartare and coconut foam. Scallop nut on pumpkin and truffle cream. Trio with biscuit with creamy burrata foam with Alice del Cantabrico and steamed lobster with avocado mayonnaise. Lobster tagliatelle (amazing). Pumpkin risotto with truffles and raw scallops. Roasted octopus on tomato and pistachio cream. Sea bass fillet with potato cream and seaweed sauce and cabbage air. closing with an excellent dessert really well done. Small pastry with coffee. Exceptional waitress in the room, kind and well prepared. A nice evening. Prices adjusted to the level.

Elegant restaurant immersed in the green of the Berici hills with a wonderful panoramic terrace. We have chosen the fish tasting route that with about ten courses creates a culinary journey that ranges between incredible combinations of different tastes with hints of exotic cuisine. Trained staff and small attentions very welcome

Pleasant location on the Berici hills, nice room, but not exciting. We had the shrimp and asparagus risotto and the octopus: interesting flavors and well-kept dishes, apart from perhaps the octopus which was a bit messy, but a quantity to taste. A little long service times. I did not like the fact that it seemed that the welcome drink was offered, and instead they charged me € 6 for a glass of prosecco, not even exceptional. The bread is good, sweets and coffee are appreciated, but finishing lunch and going out with an appetite is not the best, and I have reason to believe that this is also the case for many of the other patrons. We are not talking about a starred restaurant, there is a world of more satisfying and less pretentious restaurants out there. However, he has potential and I wish him to improve (at least for my preferences). Account of 97 €
