Trattoria Marchetti — Restaurant in Unione Comuni Garfagnana

I chose Penne alla Ragù, roasted turkey, and insalata with tomatoes, which included bread and acqua naturale. Clearly, Trattoria Marchetti is a local favorite as every table was taken…for...

Lovely friendly Trattoria, right near the centre of the town. Food is really good and they always have a great choice of dishes.
