The first place we entered would not serve us Too late, they said, although the place was three fourths filled. So, we walked down the street and entered, without much hope, L 'Archibugio. They were very welcoming, but apologized that the kitchen was closed. They said, however, that they could serve us the house specialty, a delicious pumpkin filled tortellini, accompanied by tasty local wine and followed by coffee and tiramisu. The tortellini was declared best dish of our trip by my discriminating spouse. Afterwards, we stayed around to watch them make these tasty morsels for the dinner crowd. First, they made the pasta from scratch, then hand stuffed the pumpkin spread and folded the pasta to form the tortellinis. (You can see a photo of this process on their website. Well, we still had two more hours of driving through the rain, so we reluctantly gave major thanks and moved on. This is one of those experiences that Italy specializes in walk down the street, enter a restaurant and receive a warm greeting and a delicious meal.

I have always appreciated especially the ragù chaplains, which in my opinion are the best dish of the menu, they look exactly as they just prepared in the house. I was there in December for a dinner between friends with the idea of taking a pizza. as soon as I saw that there was the pizza chaplains to the ragù and speck did not hesitate to take it. it was really delicious and I recommend to all to try it absolutely, since the ingredients were perfectly mixed. Once finished I realized that it is really filling (I was unable to take a dessert,) but absolutely not heavy. attention to compliance with the covid standards is high, and I think it is one of the key points in these times before choosing a local. very courteous and helpful staff.

Beautiful but the local turns out a little dated read more Beautiful but the local turns out a little dated
