"I had the pleasure of eating only twice in this restaurant, but it was enough. cozy and intimate place, the owner kind and so, we know to do with people and you see they love their work. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the dishes because they were so good that they couldn't wait for the shot. but in addition to goodness they are very well looked after. a note of merit also to vegan dishes."

"As others have stated the food is good so no complaints there. There is also a review stating how they do not split checks. I urge you to pay attention to that. No matter how much you plead they will not split the bill for each individual. In my most recent visit for a coworkers going away the entire party had to pay an equal amount to cover the bill. So in a sense the bill was split but it was split evenly among all of us regardless of what each person ate or drank. In the end I ended up paying close to double what I should have paid. The remedy to this if you go in a large group is to have cash on hand and someone collects and pays for the group"

"I recently had a business lunch with a colleague at Da Regina in Polcenigo. This is a quaint little restaurant located at the base of the Dolomites, featuring both seafood and meat dishes. The main dining room consist of about tables, adequately spaced apart...from each other to afford private conversation. It is the end of the winter season and the room was heated by a wood-burning stove. Another dining room opens up to a covered terrace outback for when the weather becomes nicer. Tables are covered with checkered tablecloths and the service ware (plates utensils) were nice. There is limited parking in a small courtyard, which could prove to be a problem on a busy day. I believe the woman who took our orders and served us was Regina, the owner, who was very gracious and accommodating. She brought us a colorful bouquet of fresh carrots and celery, accompanied with a flavored mayonnaise for dipping. We were not provided with menus which is often acceptable when dining in Italy. Regina asked if we were interested in eating seafood or meat dishes. We were interested in seafood so Regina commenced to recite what was fresh in the kitchen. There were several creative and tempting suggestions; however we selected the Paccheri with a Shrimp and Mozzarella sauce. Normally, one does not associate cheese with seafood; however this dish was excellent and featured a light seafood sauce that was worthy of using a piece of bread (scarpetta) to mop it all up. For our main meal, we enjoyed two Orata (Sea Bream fish) roasted in the oven with potatoes and herbs. Regina deboned and served the fish tableside. The natural juices from the fish and herbs greatly enhanced the flavor of the potatoes and were a nice combination. We had a little room for dessert; however, Regina sadly reported that she only had two desserts left which lead me to believe they may be leftovers and not very fresh. We passed on dessert and ordered cafes. Prices were reasonable and our meal, along with a couple of glasses of house wine and a bottle of water totaled Euro. I suggest you try Da Regina if you are in the area. I will return."

"We 've been to Alla Trotta Blu three or four times over the past few years and we have always enjoyed the cuisine, as well as the friendly service. New owners took over this restaurant in December 2012 and unfortunately, I didn 't enjoy my meal as much as in the past. The setting/location is stunning, situated among the green forests of Caneva and the Pedemontana and along a pond stocked with trout, which eventually end up on your dinner plate. The outdoor terrace, on a nice day, is a relaxing place to unwind and leave all stress behind. Ducks geese float by and provide peaceful entertainment for all. The new owners made some design changes with new modern lighting fixtures and a fresh coat of paint. The entire dining room in windowed, affording views of the peaceful nature outdoors. Tables are draped with white table clothes and the service ware (plates utensils) was satisfactory. The service provided by two young women was unpolished and not very professional. I believe they may be in the learning phase of waitressing. We were a group of four people on this Saturday evening and only one other couple showed up for dinner. The menu is extremely limited, offering a trout based tasting menu for 30 euro. There were also alla carte choices comprised of 3 antipasto dishes, three primi (pasta/soup) dishes and three entrees. I started with the white lasagna made with a trout ragu. The portion was small and had alternate green and white pasta layers with a cheesy bechamel. This was the best dish of my meal. Bravi! For my entree I had Trout Fish and Chips that were served rolled up in paper on a dinner plate. The fish was actually breaded and not batter dipped. The flavor was bland and unfortunately, the fried potatoes were soggy and mushy. The portion was of adequate size. I accompanied this with a side mixed salad that was fresh. I did taste samples from everyone else 's meals and found nothing to be remarkable. The raw trout carpaccio was just that, small cubes of trout, mounded into three piles on a serving dish. No condiment and very little flavor. The grilled trout platters were unremarkable as well. We decided not to have dessert; however the dessert menu sounded tempting, having 6 or 7 different desserts to choose from. Prices were reasonable with antipasti, primi and entrees ranging between 9 to15 euro. There was also a beef dish available on the menu for people who don 't want to eat trout. I don 't know if Japanese Sushi is still available as the previous owner 's wife was Japanese. Our meal, with two half liters of house wine, two bottles of water and two cafes totaled 105 euro. Upon paying our bill, we were offered complimentary glasses of homemade grappa. Alla Trota Blu is closed on Tuesdays and reservations can be made, though not necessary."
