"We were a little uncertain about turning onto the small road off the highway that leads to Il Salice, since it looks like it leads into the woods, but we were so glad we did. The setting is charming like a country Inn. We arrived at an odd hour about 3:00 looking for lunch. Since our Italian is practically non existent, we had a bit of trouble at first ascertaining if they were still serving. We did glean that she did not have a full menu offering at that hour, but we were hungry and expressed that a limited offering was no problem. There was a group of six finishing a leisurely meal in the dining room, and, fortunately for us, one of them spoke English and helped us with the menu. The others at the table were very enthusiastic in their recommendations and told us we were very smart to have found this place, since it is so authentic and so good. Everything is homemade, from the bread to the pasta to the biscotti. We had a simple, but delicious meal or cold antipasto and ravioli for me and pappardelle for my husband. The ravioli in particular was terrific served with a light seafood sauce. It is a family run business and the service is lovely. We enjoyed caffe and biscotti for dessert, along with a complimentary shot of a truly delectable walnut digestif from the region. Very special experience."
