It was dinner for four, carpaccio, scallops, and Frito misto were excellent appetizers. For our mains, we had the ravioli, cavatelli with braised ragu sauce, and chitarra spaghetti with truffle and sausage. All main plates were excellent, pasta is homemade and delicious. Affogato and gelatos finished off an excellent meal.
