The spaghetti was delicious and there was lots of it. You could tell how good this place is by how busy it was as the night went on. However, we had eaten both courses within 40 minutes of arriving at the restaurant and we all felt as though they were trying to get us out to get the next table in. As we didn’t have secondo due to us being so full, we ended up leaving within an hour of arriving at the restaurant which was a real shame as it put a bit of a dampener on our last evening. Definitely would return but would maybe try going later on in the evening to see if it has a more relaxed vibe.

Really recommend the antipasti served with torta fritta and her pasta dishes are exquisite. The main courses were grand too yet by this stage are so full. Go hungry. Reasonably priced too.

I realize that all the other reviews are in Italian, by Italians, but that should only go to show you that this restaurant is truly authentic. At the end of the lunch, we found that our waitress spoke very nice English, and the owner said that although she doesn't speak English herself, there's almost always someone who does. It would help to brush up your language skills, since there's no written menu. It can make you uneasy, too, that you don't know the prices, but here there's no worry. We split an antipasto fresh delicate ham, coppa, spalla, head cheese, the lightest and best little fritters I ever had, and polenta with mushroom sauce. Then they offered 3 primi: tortelli with chard and ricotta, tortelli with ham in leek sauce, and tagliolini with mushrooms or you could order a combination of all three. Of course, we each got the three combo, and they were spectacular. Even though that was more than enough, we also got a plate of stuffed veal to share, which was just great, with a nice cheesy stuffing. Coffee and digestives to end, and the whole bill for two very satisfied people one antipasto, two primi, one secondo, water, 1/2 l. of wine was 44E. So follow the signs down the narrow road and have fun!
