It has about 524 inhabitants, but they know how to make a good red wine. I then enjoyed an amazing salad of octopus, potato, tomato, and olives from Liguria, and the waiter and I had a jolly conversation about the best region for olives. I then opted for one of the evening recommendations, the Strangozzi with Tartufi/truffles and pistachio. All in all, the food was wonderful and the service was personal and kind. Thank you!

Pasta with excellent truffle and gnocchi in the norm. Staff available and friendly. Prices perhaps slightly higher for the average of other restaurants in the area. However local recommended!!
