They were offering a special menu for the festival, so we stopped to take a look at it. As our Italian is limited, we did not understand some of the menu items, so the owner (Giorgio) came out to try to explain them to us. He even took us back into the food prep area to show us how the menu items were being prepared. The meal was fabulous. As mentioned in a previous review, this is not your typical Italian fare. Though it was obviously Italian cooking, there was a polished, gourmet flare to it. The food was extremely fresh and well prepared, and the meats and vegetables were seasoned to perfection. The presentation of the food was also top notch. The waitress was very attentive yet not intrusive. We enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant as well it was a modern, industrial look with a touch of elegance. We were in Italy for 10 days, and this was at the top of the list for favorite meals.
