We visited this charming Italian restaurant with a party of 12 and no booking—no small feat. To our delight, they managed to seat us promptly (although one setting was initially missing, and quickly remedied), setting the tone for what became one of the best meals we’ve had in Italy. Ambience & Atmosphere The energy was instantly amplified by the live music—beautifully tuned and pleasantly integrated into the evening’s flow, it transformed dinner into a memorable experience. Service The service was a mixed bag—but in an understandable, human way. Our waitress, though initially caught up in the bustle, took the time to attend to us more fully once the restaurant eased up. Communication was occasionally a challenge, but honestly? That’s on us—our imperfect Italian likely played a role. It felt fair-minded and respectful to recognize that, and not expect everyone to speak English. Food & Value The food was worth every euro. Elevated, flavorful, and executed with care, it exceeded expectations—enough to justify its higher price point. Considering we spent about €350 for 12 people (including dessert for six children, with no kids’ menu offered), it felt like a hearty but delicious splurge, and the quality more than lived up to the cost. Final Thoughts & Recommendation In balance, the positive aspects—live music, excellent cuisine, flexible seating despite a large group, and responsive service—far outweighed the minor hiccups. For anyone seeking an authentic and lively dining experience in Italy (especially in a moment when booking wasn’t an option), this place comes highly recommended. Just plan ahead, bring your Italian phrasebook (even if it’s a few key words), and soak in the atmosphere.

Fantastic little place, the food was delicious, we only had a starter and pasta dish but that was enough, the staff were friendly and it was a really chilled vibe down a little side street, we also got to see the owners prize lemon tree which had lemons the size of rubgy balls!!

A remarkably excellent traditional yet sophisticated Italian cuisine in an informal comfortable garden setting. Excellent service with multilingual charming staff serving home made pasta and pizza, as well as a wide variety of creative dishes. I've eaten all over Northern Italy for the past 30 years and this family run restaurant is a little gem. The house red us awesome, seafood lasagna rabbit pork ... no really just go there. Call for reservation just in case because it does fill up after 8pm. This is what Italian cuisine is all about: excellent food, relaxed atmosphere (my dog was very welcome), and charming service.

We were staying in B&B Zagara (same owner) and we decided to eat at their restaurant and were pleasently surprised. The staff is friendly, professional and provide good service. The food is maybe even better. The first day we had Steak Tartare as a starter, my wife ordered an octopus and I ordered a steak. The Steak Tartare was the best I had in years and the rest was great too. The next day, I decided to keep it simple and ordered Lasagne and a pizza. Prepared with fresh ingredients and also a "simple" dish was excellent. Highly recommended if you stay in the area.
