Piatti curati, cucina con prodotti locali ma lo chef ci sa veramente fare, ha il tocco raffinato! Tagliatelle ai funghi e cinghiale, ravioli ormeggio e noci squisiti di grande livello…..ma il piatto che mi ha fatto perdere il controllo, ho fatto il tris, sono stati i fagioli come antipasto……,grazie Michele e al tuo team !!! Vorrò in seguito organizzare in banda

Even though the waiter did not know English and my Italian is very limited the waiter suggested some great food. We made friends with a local priest after I mentioned my grandparents are from Panni. Wonderful place, great food, great people, and great views
