The food quality was great: the tartare was fresh and delicious. The vitello tonnato was also great: simple and authentic like my mother used to make it. The sauce was creamy and rounded in its finish. The “pappardelle con trota”: we got a wonderful combination of papardelle, trout, and turmeric stimulated all the taste buds and made the dinner unforgettable. The paccheri were a great pasta: cooked at the right point with a delicious meat sauce, simply very tasty. Good wine suggestions as well: white Lange (fruity) and Nebbiolo for the paccheri. Desserts were also good, authentic (less special than the food). The little square where the tables are is cosy and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. This classic Italian ambiance was complemented the soft Italian pop music in the background.

Small and nice restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. The price-performance ratio is good. Great bread and sausage as a starter. The wine selection is great.
