A white fence gate invites us to enter a small, candlelit courtyard featuring a jaunty red umbrella and some low, comfy-looking chairs. The house, made of wood and glass, is subtly lit to highlight glimpses of the treasures within. “I have also cooked all my life and I want to invite people to come here and spend some time with us: sit in our kitchen as we make your antipasti, chat and drink while I cook pasta, listen to music and try different glasses of wines while I pop a pizza into the oven” the owner said. They spent a couple of years procuring products and conducting experiments to make sure everything was appropriate. Marco; the owner says his place is not a restaurant. This is their home and they have made their warm and welcoming place a spot where you can drop by for a sundowner and a chat or for a late night bottle of wine with a group of friends. You should book at least a couple of days in advance because there is only one large family table and this is going to become popular as word of mouth spreads. There is room inside and outside that you can sip wine, cocktails and craft beers with delicious antipasti – fresh bread out of the oven, generous slices of meats, chilli jam, a bright, light salad, a little pecorino and olives.
