Very pretentious, and poor value for money. Portions were small although bulked to look bigger, service below average and although we went with friends who had been there before, we were ALL disappointed and ate elsewhere for the remainder of our stay.

Small restaurant with excellent food and wine. Menu not extensive but not your usual pizzeria. Average price. Booking essential.

This is a small traditional restaurant run by the chef and his wife. Everything is home made. Ask for the ravioli it is quite fantastic but so is the risotto.
