€€Contemporary, Modern Cuisine
Italian cuisine that strikes a balance on several fronts: while the chef’s dishes include nods to Brescia’s culinary tradition, they are also enlivened with creative touches. In summer, service extends outdoors beneath a gazebo; in the colder months, the main dining room is warmed by a fireplace. At lunchtime the menu is shorter, more affordable, and there is a business menu.
