Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very nice and cozy atmosphere; the restaurant doesn't have too many seats, so each table gets good attention from waiters and bartenders. Delicious food, good cocktail and wine list. Bartender seemed annoyed by a request of making a cocktail that's not on the menu, but...when I dropped my request, they still offered to make the drink, so that was nice :)More

Worst was “the cheat” with a winelist that offers you wines 4-5 times the supermarket price. That’s a steal and not trustworthy.

Went here the other night with a party of around 6. The service was appalling, slow, humorless, unpleasant. In a fairly empty restaurant (towards the end) our server was consistently nowhere to be found. Food wise, it was pretty good -- the truffle fries, the...tartare, the gravlax, the mushroom soup, the sea bream, the garlic prawns were all very good. The steak, which I had, was overcooked, not very good and came in a massive portion -- too big. Worse yet -- and I've never seen this before -- when my friend asked to bring the leftovers home in a box the server curtly replied: "we don't do that here."More

Art Priori is exceptional restaurant due to its art collection hanging all-round the restaurant. Usually the waiting time between dishes seems a bit long but not in this restaurant. You can walk around the restaurant and gaze the lovely art. My brain has this feature...programmed in that every time I see beef tartar I have to take it, no matter what else is offered I always choose the tartar. I have never been served tartar from a caviar box which was clever I think. The tartar itself was little bit under seasoned but the caviar stepped in and helped out. I just loved the tiny pickled mushrooms, I just wished there were few more of them so I could have enjoyed them with every mouthful. Those little bad boys gave the dish the needed acidity! I have to say that first time in my life I had beef tartar in front of me and I had food envy. My fiancé had the cauliflower dish and boy I haven’t ever tasted vegetarian dish that good (You have to send me the recipe)! For the main I had the pigeon and the breasts were perfectly cooked. The meat just disappeared in my mouth and you would have not needed teeth at all. The leg of the pigeon was so good that I didn’t even use fork or knife I just consumed it like a cave people. The black currants went so perfectly with the meat and gave it little bit of sweetness and acidity. The other berries that I think were rowan berries did not work for me. The method of preserving had taken out the lovely color but the overly bitter taste was still there. For the dessert I had to take the Celeriac. Our lovely waitress explained when I was hesitating take or not to take this dish that the celeriac will be in the shape of a cake. I was sold. The presentation with this dish would need little bit improvement. The cake was really nice and in the after taste you could find the celeriac but the taste was not over powering. Usually I am not a fan of the bitter almond taste (don’t get me wrong I love real almonds) but in this ice cream it worked very well and the texture was perfect (plus points for the beautiful quennelle). The green apple ”sauce” was very nice too (how did you get the taste so deep?). Very nice job both in the kitchen and in the dining room thank you guys! For the management team: your waitress is awesome she could remember every little component of every dish that were served!More

There are no needs to think about menu there: only chef’s selection! In this case a visitor would try the different kinds of meal along with an additional explanation what he ate in particular. To one’s surprise they could combine so different types of food...to achieve so tasty result: for example scallops with potato - super solution! There is also an opportunity to be acquainted with the medieval paintings on the walls between coming dishes. Three different desserts only - but every of them was like a signature one. And end of the dinner did not mean an end of the visit. Be prepared to the short tour through that remarkably decorated place. P.S. And Art Priori õlu tasted really not that bad.More

Top service and excellent food. The meal came with three different slices of homemade bread. All dishes were creative and delicious. The staff explained each dish, pointing out the elements used and what to look for in the dish. Prices vary, depending on the dish,...but there are many options, so you can make choices that fit your budget and come out very satisfied. It’s a fine dining atmosphere with tasteful art displays.More

We went to Art Priori for the first time after many recommendations. The restaurant was very beautiful and carefully decorated. We chose the degustation menu and it was definitely the right choise. The menu consisted of five courses. First two cold appetizers tomatos and scallops...which both were really spot on. Third course was warm malloreddus pasta with goat cheese which were also very nice and creamy. The main was french pigeon with apricots, plum sause and foie gras + there were also tortellini filled with pigeon. It was a huge dish from the chef with lots of effort, but for me there was too many components on a plate. I would say here less is more and rather trust your local ingredients, because this was the only contoversial dish on the beautiful summer menu. The peach dessert was again spot on and carried nicely the theme from the main course apricots. Overall a very nice summer menu and experience. Sommelier was really professional and the wines were well paired with the dishes. Especially the Austrian red wine with the main and the dessert wine were perfect matches. We will definitely come to Art Priori again!More

Very nice premises indeed, Sophisticated and elegant. Absolutely worthy of a great occasion, a business appointment or a romantic dinner....but the only problem is the food, for sure not spectacular as the premises! they should focus more on the food than on the premises! Absolutely...Overpriced. Service = basic quality. I will not be back.More

But I've never had that little to say on the bad side by trying 5 or 6...journeys on the plate. Magnificent, definetly coming back in autumn to taste new menu. Perfect 5.More
