Nice quiet family place for lunch/midday’s meal. Food is well prepared. Not expensive. Very ala carte. So you can make some inexpensive combinations. The roasted vegetables were only aubergine—would have done something different, but still good mixed with my pasta with olive oil and red pepper flakes.

A true gem that blends tradition, taste, and heart. Highly...
