The menu selection is limited, but every dish sounded great. We ordered the Branzino and rabbit leg entres for dinner with snails and raw tuna as apps. All dishes were excellent, we ate everything. The suggested white wine was perfect, especially with the fish. Dessert was limited in choices, but we were too full anyways.

The steak with peppercorn sauce was delicious but somewhat tough. The chestnuts were tasty but dry. Service was good.

I was really impressed by the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant, which drew me in. We chose to order fried calamari and two pasta dishes, and I must say, the meals exceeded our expectations. They were so delicious that I’m already looking forward to our next visit!
