Wonderful. We were welcomed with such warmth we immediately felt at home. I’m not sure the name of the head of the restaurant (I read Mauro in other reviews), but he was a delight. He was attentive and helpful with the menu. All staff were wonderful. They were relaxed and friendly. Typical Friulano dishes with excellent ingredients. We started with the frico and polenta as an appetizer - hands down the best in the area. The fresh pasta used in the cacio pepe and mushroom pasta dish- was the best I have had in the year I’ve lived here. The gnocchi was beyond delicious and again perfectly executed. The pork cheeks were braised beautifully for an Italian “goulash”. The ambiance was beautiful- no abrasive overhead lighting to ruin the rustic coziness. Just a warm glow of the fireplace and well placed soft lighting. Thank you for the delicious experience. We will be back again and again. Xx

Had a 5-course set menu for a going away party. Really enjoyed the food! Every dish was spot on (favorite Italian food so far). The wait staff and chef were very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.
