"Taverna Il Patriarca is an upscale, but not overly so, restaurant with a menu similar to other places in town, but with a higher price point. Our experience was limited to a late lunch stop, so we can’t comment too extensively, but the the two soups we had were flavorful, a minestrone and an anchovy and cauliflower. Neither were terribly hot. The anchovies took the cauliflower flavor out of the soup. We had an excellent salad with an oil and vinegar dressing. Topped it with a nice house red. While all was fine, we had better, hotter soup elsewhere in town for substantially less money. Same with wine. Ten euros for a half liter was bout twice what we paid in other places and the wines were as good or better. Atmosphere is good, service excellent but a bit harried at times. We talked ourselves out of returning, what with all the other options in town. Worth a visit, however."
