The roughly 40-minute walk to get here makes the whole experience even more authentic and enjoyable. Once we arrived, we ate wonderfully: generous, genuine and really tasty dishes.
Flaviano TestaJanuary 2026 · translated from Italian An all-timber farmhouse with two dining rooms, each with its own stove. The moment you walk in you are met by the warmth and the smell of good food, and you are already happy. The menu changes with whatever they have available.
Monica MauriFebruary 2026 · translated from Italian Tasty and generous dishes. A special mention for the wonderful cakes, made by hand by the owner’s mother. Delicious.
