Ordered two dishes: seafood egg spagetti (sorry I forgot the exact name of this dish) and rigatoni with smoked pork, mussels and goat cheese. Both of them tasted really fresh and yummy; especially love those chewy rigatonis! Besides, they also have English menu, so just ask for it :)

You'll enjoy their family-style hospitality, hear stories that bring the region to life, and experience the warmth that makes Italy so special. The food is outstanding, but don't stop there--take in the culture, the history, and the flavors that have been passed down through generations. Every dish feels authentic, every recommendation is made with pride, and every moment feels like you're part of the family. A truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Italy.

We sat outdoors and enjoyed appetizers and a bottle of Chardonnay recommended by our fabulous server. I usually don't love that white variety, however, things always taste better in Italy!

There were plenty of awards listed on the door and the prices seemed reasonable so I felt like I was avoiding a tourist trap. However, given that I look Asian, I stood out like a sore thumb as I was surrounded by Italians, some speaking English but most speaking Italian. My waiter was great; however the other waiters seemed to be laughing that I was sitting alone for dinner, which maybe is a faux puax in Italy, and does not account for business persons traveling alone. When asked for recommendations on dessert, they stated the tiramisu, which was very good. Next time, I will try something else. They did try to push some alcohol on me as "authentic" so I don't think they realized that I was not looking for tourist stuff, but just good stuff. They didn't speak English that well so when I asked for leftovers to be packed up, they did not. My waiter promptly took care of that and asked packed up the delicious bread. I don't think having the boss around helped their nerves. But as for the actual food, it was quite food and reasonably priced. The octopus salad was quite good, with the fresh octopus cooked nicely--not chewy at all. I could have just eaten that because the portion sizes were so large but had already ordered the fish pasta so that was really good--pasta al dente with fresh fish, tomatoeS and olives!
