The Agostino Iacobucci restaurant, former chef of the I Portici restaurant, is in an old villa from 1578 with frescoed ceilings and Palladian floors; a little cold and above all very noisy. We took the "Esplorando" tasting menu which offers a path of 10 dishes chosen by the chef from his historical recipes and some new recipes. The menu seemed too normal to me, we ate well, all the dishes are technically perfect but they are flat, without emotions as I would have expected from a restaurant awarded with a Michelin star. The only exception is the Tortellini in Jerusalem artichoke broth and licorice, truly superb. Flawless but impersonal service.
