"This restaurant has really exceptional food (and I have eaten a lot in Italy). I highly recommend the ravioli. My companion had the horse (and before you get on your high horse, they are no more intelligent than cows) Pignata which was superb. There is a reasonably priced selection of wines to match. They meal begins with crudites and very tasty focaccia."
