"Poche settimane fa sono stato a mangiare in piacevole compagnia in questo posto a die passi da Mendrisio. Il locale è molto carino e accogliente curato nei dettagli. Siamo stati accolti e serviti da Filippo, molto preparato e innamorato del suo lavoro. Ho proprio avuto la sensazione che volesse trasmettere la sua passione presentandoci al meglio i suoi piatti e la loro preparazione. Il cibo ha in effetti rispecchiato le aspettative e tutto era delizioso. Tra l’antipasto ottimo ci è stata portata una pallina di sorbetto molto apprezzata. Il brasato e la tagliata erano ottimi e alla fine della cena siamo stati omaggiati di un paio biscotti caserecci e di un bel portachiavi fatto con un tappo di una bottiglia di bollicine. Vino ottimo e conto onestissimo per la qualità del servizio offerto. Tutto molto bello, tornerò!"

"We came here spontaneously after a recommendation from the parents and were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was excellent. We especially appreciated how they added their own creative ideas to otherwise traditional dishes. The complimentary amuse-bouche was a lovely touch, and their unique selection of house-made drinks made the experience even more special. Highly recommended!"
