Impeccable and friendly service with a true chefs tasting menu, be sure to make a reservation as the restaurant is small. Choose from a 1, 2 or 3 course meal, with dessert being additional, we came here twice and all menu items were amazing. The ravioli with stracchino, black truffle, mountain butter and parmagiano reggiano was my favorite. Mom loved the risotto with roasted onion semi dried tomato and basil. Interesting items such as the Catfish appetizer and complimentary seasoned herbed ricotta on a rice chip had interesting and unexpected flavors. Truly, don't miss this one.

My husband, me, and three friends stumbled in soaked from a July downpour. All of us were hungry…read moreand dripping. The owner greeted us warmly at the door and had our whole party seated right away. I had read reviews about the pizza and thought it the perfect place to escape the rain, wait out the storm, and stuff our bellies until the rain stopped and we could call an UBER. There were just a few tables occupied, which made it feel like we'd found something of a hideaway. We started with a cheese plate and wine, then shared a cheese and pepperoni pizza. Everything came out fast and everything was delicious. The cheese plate especially was worth ordering. What made the night, though, was the owner. His family is originally from Egypt, and he brought such genuine warmth and joy to taking care of us. That kind of hospitality can't be faked. When we left and were walking down the block, he called after us holding one of my friend's phone charger that was left behind on the table. We were super appreciative. :) If you find yourself in Milan -- rained on or not -- go. Great pizza, great wine, excellent service, and a host who clearly loves what he does.

The first dish, a linguine with pesto, was delicious. The next dish, breaded chicken with fries, was utterly disappointing. The chicken was hard and flavorless. Several guests had insects or spiders in their food. Desert was ice cream that came in a cup. Maybe the restaurant is better for pizza or for smaller parties. It just did not work for our large group.

The restaurant is the only one set in a sleepy medieval town a short distance away from San Pellegrino Terme. The building itself is in the traditional medieval style and has few tables inside and some outside as well. There is a friendly neighborhood cat that wanders in to see if anyone will drop some food for him. As far as authentic and down to earth great food goes, this is absolutely ideal. If you are looking for the real deal Italian food, go here and experience something like you never have before. Don't expect five star service or anything fancy here, it's all about the food, and the tradition that they are proud to carry on.
