The perfect complement to cured meats and cheeses, it is also excellent with chocolate and custard.
In addition to the panigacci, the restaurant serves salads, grilled meats from local farms and home-made desserts in a welcoming and colourful ambience.
You can chose to eat in one of the four rooms inside the restaurant or outside on the terrace.
