Yesterday there are some changes, new owners and plastered decoration, a new cook and a re-vamped menu with honest good food as well as the extensive pizza...menu though in the mood for pizza the special menu looked seriously tempting. pizzas, as it turned out, were just as good as before, good and generous as ever. the service was excellent and the place on Friday evening with close tables. great to see villages like these flowering. we're safe back.

The outdoor terrace looked out over the square with the church just off to one side. As it became dark a...criss-cross of coloured fairy lights was turned that went from either side of the square. House wine was good and so was the meal. Just a delightful setting.
