We had dinner here based on a recommendation from a local hotel. It is well worth a visit.
The location is a bit hard to find, even with GPS, the address is approximate. You enter through a gate on a ground stone driveway with a small sign on a pillar. Parking is on the side of the driveway. Once that's done, you walk up brick steps, through a lovely herb garden, and into the restaurant. You can sit outside on the terrace (we did) or indoors. Either are lovely.
The greeting and service were friendly, quick and accommodating. Our waiters spoke English quite well and were very helpful. We requested, and were recommended, an excellent mid-priced local wine.
Most impressive is the care they took with the service and the food. My daughter, who has multiple food allergies, carries a card that lists those allergies in Italian. The waiter accepted it without reservation and, when he brought out the basket of bread, had separated the breadsticks which had sesame, to which she is allergic, from bread she could have. They were also very careful to check anything she requested directly with the kitchen. This shows great care for the customer.
Now the food. It is worth the trip. Well prepared home made pastas for primi which were all wonderful. The mushroom and truffle pasta was earthy, while the risotto with burrata was rich with just enough bite. The meats were well prepared, as was the swordfish in a roll. Everything was clearly fresh and well prepared, as one might expect from this region. Deserts, of course, are a must have. The chocolate cake is simply a work of art.
I don't usually give 5 stars but it this case, it was well earned. This is certainly a place to put on your list when visiting the region.
