They are perfect for when you want to eat delicious but not self-over-indulgence. Italian to the core. We were pleasantly surprized at the comfortableness yet authentic atmosphere that this place exuded. We walked in because we were shopping in Zutphen, an orginal Dutch "Hanzestad" and therefore very old. This reaturant was located in a building from the fifteenth century, with 15-foot ceilings with beams measuring at least one foot in width and height. Different kinds of pasta, made fresh and in-house. I had the bucatini alla putanesca, our son had the papardella gamberini, my husband had a pizza napolitana. Alll were excellent. For dessert we allowed ourselves to indulge. My husband had the panna cotta and I tried something new: the cheesecake from Italy with riccotta cheese. Quite possibly the best cheesecake I have ever had!!! These days they serve a fresh ginger tea so that finished off this outstanding Italian meal just fine.

Because the space is small, you absolutely have to make a reservation. I went on a Sunday afternoon, almost right when they opened, and I didn't have a reservation. They offered me a table outside. The table still had cigarette dust on it. The menu is short but representative of Italian cuisine. I think I ordered the wrong thing because I didn't find it spectacular. My Italian colleague advised that the Roman dishes are the best. If you need authentic Italian food in Groningen, go to Gustatio. If you go to Gustatio, make a reservation!
