By the way, many people you see in the pictures dated 1970 are still working inside the restaurant today. Can you imagine; the owner’s wife is still doing the cooking in the kitchen.

This restaurant is historical and used to be very popular with politicians of the first Republic. Even today locals find their way through the door and that is always a good sign when looking for a pace to eat. If you are found of truffle, mushrooms; like mouthwatering Porcini mushrooms on the grill and wild hunted animal dishes; like a juicy guinea-hen from the oven, then you have come to the right place.
Of course you wouldn’t find these specialties year round but only during their season. Regarding their most famous fish plate; I’ve heard it must be pasta with stone brass. The wine list has everything your heart may desire and if you’d like a good value, we’d suggest you’d take the house wine.
They also offer a wide selection of Italian desserts; the most famous ones are ricotta, which is a soft, white, Italian cheese and Tiramisu!
