“Great value: for such a touristy spot we liked the varied, good-quality menu; quick, spot-on service. Of all the restaurants on the square, it seemed the best to us.”

“Pizza and Limoncello spritz, Negroni followed by Grappa sat in this Piazza we will remember forever. The staff organised a taxi for us to get back to our hotel.”

“Given the (wonderful) location you expect a tourist menu, but it was exceptional! Delicious cooking, pici with white ragù and really, really good tortelli, impeccable service, great wine advice too.”
