"In un angolo tranquillo e curato del centro città, proprio dietro la via dello shopping, un ristorantino semplice, ma curato con un menù "trasversale" ( carne e pesce) che strizza l'occhio ai turisti con anche qualche proposta rivisitata della tradizione. Materie prime di alta qualità, buona carta dei vini. Ottimo per un pasto di lavoro, serata piacevole."
