Recensisco il ristorante: recentemente ristrutturato e con bella musica italiana in sottofondo. Ambiente nuovo e carino oltre al cibo eccezionale per qualità, quantità ed impiattamento. Un po' distratto il cameriere che non rispetta l'ordine di arrivo servendo prima gli habitué ma il cibo e l'affabilità della signora/proprietario alla cassa fanno passare sopra ai piccolissimi errori. Sicuramente uno dei ristoranti migliori della regione: complimenti al cuoco!

Ci siamo trovati a nostro agio,personale gentile e disponibile,camere con ogni comfort,la cucina ottima sia per la carne che per il pesce,scrupolosi per le intolleranze alimentari,nel nostro caso per il senza glutine. Un plauso al sig. Vincenzo,allo chef e a tutti i collaboratori. Sicuramente se mi ritrovo da quelle parti la sosta è obbligatoria.
