Oxtail truffle risotto , squab three-ways, lamb chops , and the duck were magnificent. Meet the chef if you can.
The food here is not to be missed. Try the corn fritter soup or the tomato . Portions are large enough to share for a small charge.
The food is amazing! Save room for dessert and get the caramel budino .
Ummmmm their dessert cookies are cooked to order!!
Budi is a great chef and host. Put yourself in your hands!
Also, look for the journal in your room and leave your story :)
