Primera vez que íbamos, nos gustó mucho el “brócoli gratinado” de entrada. Pedimos ravioli es de cordero, pulpo y caccio peppe de plato. Y todo estaba delicioso. Muy buenas porciones y excelente maridaje con un Pino Grigio Banfi.

Beautiful little restaurant in a nice neighborhood. We walked from our hotel and enjoyed a wonderful Italian meal. All the pasta was made in house. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious.
