As I was walking by, the menu said “fish of the day.” When I asked what it was Sergio said, “Sea Bass.” I just recently had a mediocre sea bass at another restaurant so I wasn’t excited to get it again. BUT Sergio insisted that it was sooooo fresh and delicious that he sold me. It was THE BEST sea bass I have ever had. So fresh! Service was impeccable and the backdrop of the church made for a perfect dinner view. Thank you Sergio for being persistent while I was strolling by (not obnoxious, just the right amount) and convincing me I needed to try your fresh fish :)

Wonderful Italian Osteria. Great pasta, cooked „al dente“ to perfection, we had Tagliatelle with Porcini and black truffels, - delicious, and Tagliatelle with slow (4 hrs. according to the menu) cooked ragù. Excellent wine, good, professional service. Off the crowded and touristy areas, a real gem for a nice, relaxed and delicious lunch or dinner.

10/10! Food and service were brilliant. I had the melanzane parmigiana to start and the carbonara as a main. Both faultless! I think they both were among the best I’ve ever had. So glad I tried this place and will be back 100%. Thanks to the team for such lovely, welcoming service.

Hands down the best beef ravioli I’ve ever had! The food was so fresh and flavorful, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everything felt made with care. Do yourself a favor and order the tiramisu; absolutely worth it. Can’t wait to come back!
