Restaurant There is a wide choice to select from antipasto, pasta (primo), meat/fish (secondo) or dessert – just as you desire. There is certainly no lack of options and the menu changes every week. Tasteful local wines including good value house wines, but there is also a broad spectrum of highly renowned Italian wines waiting for you. We would attribute the restaurant 3 stars; it is in fact difficult to find another place comparable in price and quality. You can, of course, do the cooking yourself, but is it not exciting just to have the choice! |
