    Any of the home made pasts are always amazing. Great lunch limited choices but, never a problem because we have enjoyed everything.

    Very cute restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Local beer was great. Cannelloni and gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce were amazing. To top it off the chocolate ganache cake was to die for.

    We had lunch special, just perfect. Good portions, fish cooked just before serving and they made the paste there, same with the tiramisú that was awesome.

    While I was eating the lamb steak, God came down and whispered "Be still and know that I am God." psalm 46:10. Thank you, lamb, for finally making me understand that quote.
