Though I recommend making reservations to ensure a meal here, the best seats in the house are at the bar, which is right in front of the open kitchen. Sit there and watch the staff prepare everything in a tiny space. The food is simple (e.g., roast chicken, steak, lamb shank, etc.), but very well-prepared. I highly recommend any of the pastas on the menu. The desserts are also simple (e.g., chocolate torte, rice pudding, creme brulee, etc.), but again, well-executed.
