This restaurant serves steaks and wine imported from Argentina, pasta and vegetables. Save room for the dessert of imported dulce de leche. The owner is a young Italian and his wife. Steak samples are presented raw on a wooden plate before you order. Outdoor seating in summer with a view over the village.
Fiorentina/Chianina steak. Be careful, the owner believes foreigners are prey to rip-off. The steak nonetheless is unmissable.
Nice place, more sophisticated than Velvet Underground. The hosts are really nice.
Live music concerts; a bit more grungy and the owners only care about your money, but the people there are less pretentious and can be a lot of fun
