Their à la carte menu is a favourite ranging from Risotto with porcini mushroom, Ravioli lobster which is ravioli filled with fresh lobster meat in a shellfish bisque sauce, Spaghetti vongole made with clams, chilli and white wine sauce et al, with their regulars, the media crowd and tourists alike.
