We are visiting from the United States and were staying close to this restaurant. We were looking…read moreforward to eating here but unfortunately never got the chance. We walked into the half empty restaurant, with plenty of seating, as well as all the tables available outside. To be quite specific there were 3 tables taken. We came in an hour before close and asked for a table. We were told "reservation only," by the woman with the short gray hair and glasses behind the bar. She told us to go eat at La Loco instead because nothing was available for us. When we walked home and passed the restaurant, there were 2 tables occupied inside. We checked to see if it was reservation only, it is not. We were unable able to sit down and eat due to her not allowing us to sit so we did, in fact, go to La Loco up the street.

Une trouvaille This small Italian restaurant is on a street…read morewith only one other restaurant, close to the Gare. It has room for only about 30 diners. Service is friendly and personal. The carte has wonderful choices, and the limited selection of wines offers some which you will not find elsewhere, like the Cannonau (Sardinia). Everything I have ordered was wonderfully prepared. Cost: about 40 Euros (wine included). (English spoken, if you need it).

Service was exceptional and friendly and outdoor seating/terrace was nice. Would recommend to someone looking for a causal dinner and a good pizza. Did not have any other food so cannot comment.

Artichoke and pickled peppers entrée followed by Veal, with pasta and cheese sauce. That's what I ordered anyway. I was so impressed with both courses that I scarcely noticed what my friends ordered. I know though they were all happy. Quantity was as I prefer. Not too much on the plate whereby you end up struggling to finish. The meal was beautifully presented and served by cheerful and efficient staff. The proprietress (I believe is actually Spanish not Italian) politely checked a couple of times to ensure our satisfaction. A good quality Soave served at exactly the right temperature. Astonishingly the four of us ate and drank well for under a 100 Euros, including what we considered to be the correct and courteous tip. I could not understand why the place wasn't packed. It deserves to be. Highly recommend.
