This place is a hidden Gem. It is located within a hotel near the hotel we stayed at. It has a genuine home made Italian food. The owner is ever present. The setting is extremely charming and cozy too.

We went there as it is close to the posada hotel where we stayed. Not the cheapest place but the price is worthwhile! Quality and taste of the food is amazing. Chef is Italian and you feel it. Pasta are homemade and delicious. Pizza are excellent too. I recommend this place to anyone.

The menu is excellent and they take great pride in their wine list keeping all wines at appropriate temperature. Clientele run from families to couples enjoying a romantic evening. The chefs prepare seafood exquisitely.

Thought the food was scrumptious but service left a lot to be desired. Hate it when you are out for a nice, casual and hopefully long-lasting evening to enjoy dinner and the waiter virtually throws every course down one after the other, even before you have finished the first one. Will not return for this reason. Also knowing we were... More

My husband got the Talapia gnocchi - seemed a little under cooked. I got the gorgonzola sweet pepper ravioli - was good but... More
