This Trattoria is just across the piazza Mercato from our apartment. We had noticed that it is crowded every night so tonight we went there for dinner. We were seated immediately at a table for two. Next to us was a lady from Peru and...More

Delicious food and great service. We had all sorts of pastas, Florentine T-bone steak, arugula salad, caprese salad and roasted vegetables. We liked that the trattoria was off the beaten track. The restaurant appeared to be popular with locals as well. The quality of the...More
