Personally I haven’t been in any restaurant that is working since 1926 with the same owner.
It’s not a crowded restaurant even if it’s better than any other that is on the Main Street.
It’s definitely worth to check this out.
Food, atmosphere, services were perfect.
Nufu was our waiter, he was organised, helpful, he made our experience beyond above excellence.
Thanks for everything, enjoyed every moment!

It has spare space to sit with good food and service(Nufu and everyone). We ordered Arrabbiata con pasta frescawhich is my favorite food(great sourness with rich tomato sauce but not spicy). Lasagna is also good. The most interesting part is Tilamisu with a moka pot as a container, so special! The food portions are very large. More

10/10, food was perfect. I only had the Bolognese Con Pasta Fresca, but wow was it good. The meat to pasta ratio was more than generous, as was the portion side - I was struggling to say the least. Not sure what type of pasta was used, but I loved it! Excellent service from Nufu (waitor) as well. More
