This is a small intimate Italian Restaurant, tucked on a small plaza behind our hotel. The light is dim, there are candles lit on all the tables, the tables have crisp white linen tablecloths and the waiters are all dressed in white tuxedo type shirts and black pants. We began our meal with salad and hot bread sticks. They have an extensive wine list which one of us took advantage of, one had sparkling water and 2 of us the the usual pils.
My entre was a combination of 3 different types of pasta beautifully plated and each one was delicious and very different. One had an alfredo sauce, one a marinara and on it a creamy tomato sauce. The portions here are not large, with one exception. Our friend ordered the seafood pasta and he got a large plate of spagetti with shrimp, calamari and some other kind of fish in a red sauce. They have about 6 different choices of dessert which they invited us to view in a case. I wasn't in the mood for ice cream or cheese cake so I just had a pot of tea but the others ate dessert and seemed to enjoy it.
One warning, there is a plate charge on the bill I think they called it a linen charge, it wasn't very much but it was just not expected. Service here is attentive and the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the food is excellent. It's well worth a visit.
