Lingering over a 3 hour lunch with two new friends, we had excellent food and service. We all started with appetizers we shared with each other. I ordered croquettes made with ground farro, lightly fried and crispy on the outside with a creamy center. They also had excellent bruschetta and an antipasti plate that included wild boar sausage - tender and flavorful. For my entree, I had tortellini topped with a white sauce and a creamy cheese on the inside. I also ordered a side of cauliflower. I love cauliflower and order it in any restaurant that offers it. It was roasted with tiny bits of spicy chili pepper. My only teeny tiny complaint was that while I love olive oil, it had a bit too much on it for my taste. Their house wine was sublime - very smooth, crisp and refreshing. We had a wonderful server, and the chef came out before we left to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Such a nice lunch!

I again had tagliatelle as that is the food of the gods, this time in a porcine and cream sauce. Wonderful Umbrian wine and focaccia.

The first time, we had the codfish cake antipasta, the triangular stuffed pasta, and the stuffed pigeon secondi. All were exquisite. The price is also very reasonable and the service is great. The host does speak English and his wife cooks. The second visit we had a chou paste shell with chicken liver pate, stewed onion, and candied apple. We had duck confit and the boar filet for mains. I would not miss the boar filet. It is real boar with a medieval sauce. The cannoli fordessert was also great. If we were here longer, I would try everything on the menu.

Yes, you heard me right, there were 3 or 4 very high-end olive oils on the table and I will add that this little girl was almost as proud as I was to guess which was which. Well, she is 1/4 Italian!
