"Absolutely fabulous! Wonderful food and generous portions! The wait staff is a well-oiled machine, "dancing" together all evening with playful banter and seemed to be truly enjoying serving their guests! Inside is small and cozy. The outside patio is lovely if weather permits. We started with wonderful cheeses and salmon appetizer, then had amazing pasta to follow with generous bowls of fresh grated Parmesan, and finished with a wonderful chocolate dessert! Magnifico!"

"Beautiful seating area. I really enjoyed my risotto. Others in the group were not so happy with their meat dish. The fish was light and fresh and tasty. I thought the atmosphere was charming and lovely and the staff was very forthcoming."

"It's remarkable to find an authentic and high-quality restaurant so close to a "touristic" center. It was wonderfully refreshing to be presented with a chalkboard menu, limited in quantity only, with a depth of choice more than sufficient to cover any desires. Adding witness to the freshness of the food produced, for instance, we had a desire for mozzarella and were informed, "That was last night." Where the menu is brief, the wine list is extensive, with many wines being offered by the glass. The meals themselves (pasta and salads) were perfection. The Panna cotta, simply the best (says my wife), personally I felt it too "stiff", either way the yasye was divine. Attentive, respectful and helpful staff rounded out a wonderful evening. Including guiding us through wine choices from the region. If we had more nights we'd return."
