Gourmet Restaurant

We wouldn't call Ugo Padovan's work instinctive cuisine, but rather a solid, masterful construction of a short seasonal menu based on carefully selected products. All in all, the discreet location and the professional welcome make this restaurant an outsider on the scene, with dishes to remember: red tuna tartar with criste-marine, grilled leg of suckling lamb with fennel carrot and lemon confit, baba limoncello rhubarb confit vanilla cream in a tempting €45 proposal.
