    What a wonderful restaurant! I was so excited to see tripe in tomato sauce and farinata on the menu, as I love both dishes. The tripe was absolutely delicious, and the focaccia served with it was the perfect accompaniment. The farinata, however, wasn’t quite what I remembered or was hoping for, so I probably wouldn’t order it again. My daughter had the chicken fricassee, which she absolutely loved! Overall, the food is excellent, and we will definitely continue coming back. One word of advice: make your reservations well in advance! This restaurant is very popular, and for good reason!
