This place is a must visit for the delicious food options, beautifulβ¦

The first course was a (very good) salad The second course was an amazing house-made pasta with burrata and an excellent tomato sauce. The third course was pork tenderloin in red-wine truffle sauce with roasted broccolini, carrots, corn ribs and smashed potatoes. This one was just ok. The sauce would have been much better suited to lamb or beef. The pork was a bit tough too, itβ¦
