A lovely restaurant in the Old Town: the welcoming, sleek and modern setting is bound to appeal, and the atmosphere is pleasantly intimate, the service is attentive and well trained. You can watch Italian/Mediterranean dishes being prepared in the open kitchen. Look out for the "speciality days". On Thursdays: tasting menu only. The terrace in front of the house is also a pleasant place to sit.
