This restaurant will win you over with its cuisine: meat dishes, fish, and vegetarian options coexist harmoniously, without forgetting the ever‑present risottos, available à la carte or in tasting menus. Among these, Chocolate Passion stands out, where chocolate – expertly dosed – appears in every course.
