My Italian is limited but it was close to Perfecto!
Good service, good food. Only one point was dessert, the homemade tiramisu my favorite dessert let me down. Other then that I highly recommend this place.

A really high level of refined, inventive cooking and (for the quality of food served) also good value for money.    Combined with  informative and warm service from our waitress (Michella?) it was a superb dining experience, to be recommended.  Thank you.

Astonishing menu with unexpected combinations of food , I am truly surprised it does not have a Michelin distinction having visited many bib gourmands and star restaurants. The atmosphere inside is nice and simple with the only drawback- parking lot just in front of. I wish they would plant some trees as the view behind is amazing.
