"Excellent meal from all angles. Pasquale and wife Celeste have made this restaurant their passion. They have a changing menu-of-the-day, ours was under 30E. The modern lightly-decorated restaurant has an open, clean feel, seats 65. There is a great panoramic window view and a wide outside grassy area overlooking of the valley and low mountains below. The golden fields of wheat at sunset under a full moon was breathtaking. Plenty of hand-crafted antipasto dishes both warm and cold, such as local salami made with Montepulciano, local Pecorino cheese. The warm cheese croquette ricotta and other cheeses was excellent. Two 'firsts ': one was a hand-made fatto in casa local twist on orecchini thumb-print pasta called Pasta Drocchie with a sauce of 7-cheeses and creamed vegetables. The other was a superb delicate ricotta/spinach ravioli. The beef main course was Black Angus beef from Argentina. Perfectly marinated and grilled. I 'm from Chicago so I know what good beef is. Pasquale buys his meat from an international meat market, which explains the high quality of the beef very rare in Italy He is careful to buy meats etc. from environmentally sustainable countries. A simple yet elegant dessert of pear slices.. don 't know what the juice was but it was lovely. The couple sat down with us after the meal and talked. Very genuine couple. The sign is small and the turnoff quick and sloped, so be careful getting there."
