I love Italian cuisine, I've traveled frequently throughout Italy, and your place reminded me of Italy. Thank you for the service and atmosphere :)

I would really like to see it on your coffee menu, (Caffè del nonno) I love this cold drink:)

Trattoria Vesso is a true gem, and being AVPN certified really shows. I ordered the Margherita and it was absolute perfection - light, airy, beautifully balanced. Simple ingredients done right. So glad I discovered this place.
