    One of many restaurants, several of which are Italian, on this street. We both had pizzas, which were large and tasty, washed down with a bottle of the house wine. My wife had a tiramisu which she said was very good and I just had a coffee. At the end we were offered glasses of limoncello which was a nice touch. The service was friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit.
