We had a wonderful cozy meal at this charming restaurant. Fantastic service, delicious food, great wine, all at a reasonable price. My husband has to eat gluten-free and he LOVED his gluten-free penne pasta with wild boar Ragu. I had to lasagna and it was very good as well. I would definitely love to come back to the restaurant next time I’m in town.
