    Great Tuscan restaurant serving only locally sourced food. May be best restaurant in the area.

    We brought our dog and sat on the enchanting patio in the back, loved the strozzapreti, and had a wonderful time talking with Emanuele, the owner.

    Local family favorite with an ever changing menu. Very brightly lit tho. Highlights: octopus, fried porcinis, branzino

    Try the primi course of the Fassaletti (so?). with Wild Boar. What a great pasta dish!

    A comida é boa, bem apresentada. Sobremesas perfeitas. As porções são pequenas. Preço salgado.
