With its vaulted ceilings, open kitchen and multiple dining rooms, including one with views of the Pilarcitos Creek and lush garden, it's a hit among all ages.Recognized by Slow Food U.S.A., expect artisanal products like the house-made pastas that steal the show, with tempting options like the spaghetti with a luscious puttanesca sauce brimming with seafood and just a hint of heat. Thin-crust pizza Margherita with its garlic-kissed tomato sauce is a delight, but oh that mascarpone cheese cake with a chocolate cookie crust. It's bound to send you over the moon.
