How this is listed in Zagat's Europe's Top Restaurant Guide is beyond me. Besides the food being only passingly medicore, the prices are quite high, especially when it was listed as moderate.

Just a perfect respite from mozzarella and tomato fatigue! Staff and service was lovely; food was delicious. Excellent wine list too.

Was a mixed experience. Appetizer good, free cookies and brute at the end. Quality of meats in entre was not good: lots of fat and grizzle. It is not moderately priced. Appetizers 10-15 euro, pasta 12-14, entre 22-24, dessert 10 euro. Very good service.
