Great roadside dining - we had homemade pasta, lasagne, sturdy salads. Shaded trees and al fresco dining. Limited options (well, option) for vegetarian for main course, but with pasta this good, who cares

Abbiamo mangiato delle costine davvero deliziose, cotte alla perfezione e ricche di sapore. Tutto era molto buono, dagli antipasti ai contorni. Il personale è stato gentilissimo, molto professionale ma allo stesso tempo simpatico e accogliente, contribuendo a rendere l’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Torneremo sicuramente!
