Very good pasta. Vegetable board and farfalle with sausage and broccoli were excellent.
Upstairs seating is quieter.
Gelato is also very good.
Service was excellent.
We became aware of this one walking by and examining the menu. It's a short distance from the high traffic tourist area but worth the trip.
Who am I kidding? This is worth 5 stars: we keep going, and going, and going... It's one of those safe places you go when you want a quiet, indulgent meal, and it's cold and wet outside, and you hate your job, and you didn't ask to be born, and - oooh, is that Primitivo?
It's still simple, but magistrally done: even the assortment of cold cuts you can get for starters will put you in a good mood - I don't know how they choose their suppliers, but they obviously demand quality: tasty ham that melts under your tongue, subtle fennel flavours illuminating the salami, get the picture?
My personal favourite is still chicken in a marsala sauce (make sure you have some bread left to mop up the plate).
Ice-creams are their end-of-meal triumph: strong, clean flavours that put all other places in town to shame (with one possible exception: Signorelli). You can get them to go, from the freezer next door, but I challenge you to resist their teaser selection: about a dozen mini-cones on a tray, ready to blow your neurones. You have been warned.
Get the 'linguine con gamberi e funghi' here - it's basically seafood pasta with mushrooms. It's super simple and delicious, and the shrimps are the best part. I also tried the Margherita pizza and it was great as well (but not the very best). The pizza is also given uncut so you can eat the whole pie whichever way you like. In contrast to the reviews, I really liked the service - our server was super nice and welcoming. I have to admit though that it took a while for us to get our bill after we asked for it. But my experience was great so I didn't mind the inconvenience too much. Highly recommend!
