Arrived an our before opening still served us some snacks and wine while waiting. Very friendly couple and the food was really delicious! Exactly what I expected when I think of Italy.

It’s good for family. The kids love there very much, the playground full of plenty of entertainment equipments and etc… We had a birthday dinner there, and the owner helped us to buy the birthday cake at 10pm. So warm hearted!

esperienza meravigliosa, ambiente tranquillo, accogliente e intimo. Sembra di cenare a casa, con il tavolo di fronte ad un camino immenso e il loro cane whisky a farci compagnia nella poltrona. Cibo ottimo e porzioni abbondanti, ci torneremo senz’altro.

Abbiamo cenato in 2 la signora ci ha fatto accomodare davanti al camino, si stava benissimo, ci hanno consigliato di mangiare il pesce di lago ,tutti prodotti locali , ottimi. Anche il tiramisù fatto in casa molto cremoso e buono , il prezzo giustissimo.

Abbiamo pranzato in questo ristorante scoperto per caso di ritorno da Firenze. L’ottimo cibo, l’atmosfera e l’accoglienza hanno reso l’esperienza super piacevole, da ripetere sicuramente. Se siete alla ricerca di un luogo in cui godere del buon cibo in un contesto intimo e autentico, questo è il posto ideale!

I am a seasoned traveller and I have been in Italy for 5 days of a long holiday, driving from Rome north. This was the best Italian food I experienced so far on my journey. We had 5 dishes at this sitting and all were top quality. The best food i have had so far! It is a family place and they also have some apartments for travllers which were very nicely set up! A must do if you want a true taste of quality and atmosphere. Two of us had dinner, wine, bottled water, dessert, coffee, and afyer dinner digestive liquor. The meal prices are very resonable, but to be honest, the quality of food made it a bargain. Absolutley wondeful people! Take a chnace and try it, you will not be disappointed!
