Our 2nd time here and we truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The food came out hot (not warm) which is one of the things I loved. Located at the Orange Circle you can walk around after dinner.

Always love dining in this restaurant. Great representation of Northern Italian food. Cozy ambiance and the servers are always very helpful and attentive. Owner goes out of his way to make his customers feel welcome and important. A must try if you haven't been there.
January 2026
Very good and quaint place. Service was excellent as well as the food. Ordered the Burrata for app, Buccatini Casio e pepe for Primi, Veal Valdostana for Secondi and paired it with a nice Brunello di Montalcino. Only cut on the place was that seating capacity was under 50 people so it was a bit tight and louder than I was hoping.
