All the pasta at this
refined Italian restaurant is made here on the premises, as is the delicious prosciutto, result-
ing in a long list of well-thought-out creations like fettuccine with porcini mushrooms and
prawns or tortelloni stuffed with goose liver and truffle sauce. There's also a daily “From
the Market” menu, sourcing local ingredients, and a dedicated truffle menu, which, not sur-
prisingly, comes at a price. The three-course lunch menu is good value at 1500Ft. Mains
