"Came here under recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed, everything was great!
The food was extremely tasty and interesting, combining element from the Italian tradition and re imagining them in a modern key, and the selection of natural wines was great.
The service was super as well, we were even offered a glass of sparkling wine while we waited for our table."
Jacopo Castello
"This place is a gem. local staff run this excellent dining spot. The food is superbly prepared and the wine list is excellent. We tried all local specialties and they were fabulous. The whole family enjoyed it. We will come back."
Philipp Graf
"I walked by after work, just planning to grab something quick, but it turned into a proper party. The beef tartare was superb, the pasta absolutely magical, and the rabbit really tasty. And the wines fantastic! Who knew a spontaneous stop could turn into a whole evening. The owner eventually had to kick me out but it was worth it. This place really knows how to turn an ordinary night into something special. I will definitely be back!"

If you're looking for down-home, Italian cooking that tastes like it was made by someone's kindly grandmother, this is the place for that. Dishes are unpretentious but invariably made with fresh ingredients, and it shows. For example, when you order the organic Tajarin with veal ragu, you can almost taste the field where the veal lived its happy life.
