This little hidden gem is superb, if you don't know about it or haven't heard, here's your notice…read more Being tucked away on the walk/bike path just off of Viale Monza makes it something you don't see right off, but have no fear it's just a few seconds away.
The staff were all friendly (even to a small group of non-Italian speaking Americans), they quickly sat us in a prime spot out on the patio. They then brought us the menu and the English abbreviated version and Serena (out wonderful guide through this culinary delight) explained the specials that weren't listed on the English version. After a few minutes of looking and discussion we took her recommendations on antipasti and main dishes, great choices. The entire meal was superb, from the fried Brie and smoked prosciutto starters to the bone in ribeye, all of which were delicious. Then comes dessert, after asking and making some selections she returns with not only what we ordered but also one of the dishes we were asking about (on the house so that we could try it).
As they were closing in 2 days for the summer break there were a few things they were out of, however this didn't dissuade her from looking for one of the scotches we were interested in, which she found for us, she also brought us a small flight of local digestifs to sample as well (again just so we knew what we were or were not missing). Talk about service, between her attention, recommendations, and additions to our choices, out entire table had nothing but smiles and appreciation. By far one of the better meals I've had in quote some time.
If you are in the area and looking to take a date, a business meeting, or just have a great dinner, look no further. You will be glad you came.
