We had a fresh tagliatelle with a pork ragú, risotto with lemon and prawns (out of this world!!), and a grilled lake trout, which honestly was not my favorite.

The restaurant is cozy; it appears to have been a modest house; not a villa. The interior is modern, the seating capacity is limited. But the service is attentive and knowledgeable, and the food is delicious. We had a mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad for our first coise, then risotto, fisherman's soup, and the local wine. The servings are European sized, but was plenty for lunch. The bill averaged $30 each. See the pictures.

It provides a complete ceiling like cover. When 2 large family groups arrived shortly after, he suggested we move to the center room given the numerous of small children in those groups. So we did. The wine list was thorough, but not overwhelming. My wife loved Tignello ( which is a Merlot and cabernet blend) and Moltipulciano D'abruzza . He recommended the latter as being local and not a blend. It was a wonderful wine. The food was Fabulous! this is a resort city and filled with restaurants serving Pizza, Pasta etc. If this is what you want, go elsewhere as this restaurant is very creative. They started us with a small taster, a soup which I think was roasted tomato soup with and perhaps some other flavorings, thick ands smooth and tasty. my wife started with their home made Pate and I had the Braseola. Both were excellent. My scallops were served on a bed of thinly sliced pears surrounded by a mild punkin sauce/puree. my wife had shrimp over white polenta with a black truffle sauce...awesome. The desert menu was the most creative and unusual I I've seen I chose the 1st item, the Mrs the fourth. It was a wow! We both went back to our hotel very happy.
