Editorial Review

Family-run restaurant with an open kitchen that's always packed with a mixture of locals and visitors. Waiters bring the chalkboard menus to your table, one for appetizers and one for mains. Truly decadent portions. Don't let the low key vibe trick you: the food's incredible, and wonderfuly prepared. Wild hare, wild boar, Patagonian mussels are regulars on the menu, which changes with the seasons. Tattooed chefs juggle babies and frying pans. Dinner ends for regulars with shots of homebrewed lemoncello, and everyone should save room for dessert.
