I then ate my way thru the wonderful dishes made by Chef Cristina Marianetti and Chef Marco Di Stefano along with their chefs team. The Ravioli ala Piemontese, risotto and pizza were all outstanding. I tried a selection of their pizzas and absolutely loved the Tuna with Carmelized Onions and Bufalo Mozzarella, the classic Margherita pizza, along with the Pancetta and Poricini Cream pizza.
