A short drive and then parked about 4 blocks away as the main Street was packed. We arrived for dinner at @ 18:00 and it was quite busy. We had a reservation, and waited perhaps 10 minutes. We had a table for 4 and were seated near the bar. It is a somewhat trendy place, open floor to ceiling windows...

We loved everything. The spinach ravioli was so good and the mixed green salad with oranges, almonds, and gorgonzola -molto sabritsi. Portions are not large, so you'll want to try the chocolate gelato, which is the best I've ever had. Will definitely go back!
