€€Lombardian
A splendid example of a country trattoria, which has been delighting its guests with typical dishes from Lombardy for over a century. Meals are served either in the attractive vintage-style dining room or, in fine weather, outdoors under the Virginia creeper and mature wisteria. Truly enchanting!
