Frommer's Review
Under massive cross-vaulted ceilings of rough old brick, Al Marsili's soft-yellow plaster walls are pocketed with a few very private alcoves. This is the most elegant place in town, complete with bow-tied waiters and a very well chosen, if pricey, wine list. Standout primi are pici alla casareccia (fat spaghetti in meat-and-mushroom sauce) and conchiglie alla rustica (shell pasta in a strong spinach-and-sausage sauce). For your second course, try scaloppine al dragoncello (veal scallops with tomatoes and tarragon), or their best dish, faraona alla Medici (meaty guinea hen cooked with pine nuts, almonds, and prunes).

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
