I read about this cafe in Lonely Planet so I decided to try it. I was greeted by a wonderful Italian man at the door. I sat on the outside patio (covid ya know). I had a wonderful talk about music and travel with him....They were playing great jazz music such as Miles, Lady Day, Pat Methany... He had worked in Italy, Central America and several other places. The garlic bread appetizer was served with a spicy Italian type sauce that had a nice afterburn. Not too hot at first taste but a nice lingering spicy flavor on your pallet. The fish was served in a nice white wine cream sauce. Subtle flavors that allowed the fish flavors to come through. The owner came out to speak with me after she heard that I was visiting from California and we talked for a long time. She lived and learned to cook in San Francisco USA. I had lived there also so we were reminiscing about the good old days in SF. Turns out she grows her own vegetables in her garden and it shows. Great atmosphere, great food and wonderful service. Clean and courteous also. Going back tonight. My last in Banos.More
