This is indeed a "contemporary osteria", as it describes itself. We had two extremely pleasant lunches here. Simple things, but executed with class, good produce and attention to detail, showing real talent in the kitchen. Sparkles of creativity here and there.
It will be hard for example to forget a delightfully smooth and tasty potato cream with prawns and crispy "pancetta" (think crispy bacon), simplicity and goodness itself. Likewise for a delicate and incredibly satisfying chicken salad with vegetables. A risotto with mixed mushrooms was intense and exemplary, and so were a dish of lamb (perfect cooking of the meat and lovely jus) and a beef tartare.
Desserts are both rustic and elegant, and above all, yummy.
Service is relaxed and friendly, prices are reasonable for the quality. The three dining areas, of different characters, two inside and one outside, are all inviting. As a bonus, we met two stars here: the talented and extroverted chef of a nearby Michelin starred restaurant; and Arturo, the lovely resident dog.
