Part of the building dates to the 15th century, when it was a convent - something that make just the passing by an incredible moment; The food lives up to the building's colorful history. Do not miss the sedano ripieno alla pratese (stuffed celery), in which celery is pressed, stuffed with a minced veal and mortadella filling, coated in flour and egg, and fried in olive oil. A tasty ragù crowns the dish. Another house specialty is the filetto al pepe verde (beef filet in a creamy green peppercorn sauce). The wine list boasts local favorites.

From the initial appetizers which consisted of some of the best salumi's and cheeses I have had, through the 3 course sit down dinner where he somehow managed a small army of staff to perfectly cook and present rissoto, pasta and steak courses, and finally through what will have to go down as the largest and tastiest tart (served as the wedding cake) that I will ever experience.
