A must!

An iconic restaurant in an incredible small wine town. Great selection of wine and the food was excellent. Fun sitting at the bar and watching the action. Can’t wait to watch sideways again since we visited some of the venues!

Perfect Lunch

We have eaten here before but this visit topped them all. We had the antipasto salad & the Italian special pizza with a bottle of wine. Everything was great. Great flavors! Thin pizza! And perfect service.
