My husband and I love this little gem of a restaurant on the west island. The atmosphere is always so warm and inviting, the service is fantastic and the food never disappoints.
On our most recent visit, we arrived a little later than usual (around 8:00 PM) and were pleasantly surprised to find that although it was quite full, there was no line-up. We'll have to remember that for next time, since the place is always packed if you arrive earlier in the evening.
We started with the mussels marinara and my husband practically licked the bowl clean - the sauce is THAT good! He then had the angel hair pasta with melted bocconcini and basil in a napolitana sauce which was just the right size for me to savor a few bites - delicious! I had the salmon from the Table D'hote, which was perfectly cooked and served with a baked potato, fresh vegetables and a sumptuous lemony white wine sauce that was simply divine. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Although we were eagerly eyeing the desserts as they passed on their way to other tables, after cleaning our plates and emptying the bread basket, we just had no more room at the end of the meal, so instead we finished off with coffee and a digestif.
I have to mention that our waiter was like a mind-reader - appearing with water, bread and freshly grated cheese for the pasta without even having to be asked. Bonus points for making sure my wine glass was always full!
I definitely recommend this restaurant for a relaxing dinner any time - and in the summer you can also enjoy their cozy terrace.
