This is really a charming place... Ennio is sweet-natured and we just warmed to him immediately. He said he came from Toscan, Italy and had operated this restaurant for some 37 years. He is alone on the quieter nights (mid-week) and on those nights, he would do everything himself (from taking your jacket at the door to serving food / drinks to clearing the table to cooking to giving you the bill etc etc...).
We came during a wintry mid-week evening and were almost alone in the restaurant. Wow, what a lovely evening it turned out to be. It was like being invited to have dinner in someone's cosy home. We ate slowly, matching the gentle pace of the place while allowing ourselves to be taken in by the ambience.
The food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the ravioli with basil, which Ennio made himself. I had the rabbit roll and it was great. We will come back for the veal dishes.
