Every course was delicious and it was difficult to identify a favourite - each of us had a different one. Steffano is passionate about his cooking and puts his heart into every dish. The end result is a meal showing imagination and attention to detail with every dish a sensation. The best Italian cooking we have ever tasted (including restaurants in Rome, Florence and Lucca)
