Mietta's Review
The entrance may seem closed and dark. Go into the big shed with a strong smell of wine from the eight large vats opposite the cafe. A simple blackboard menu, wine and drinks from behind the corrugated iron covered bar. Penne Bolognese is substantial and tasty, cooked in real Italian style and served on blue and white check cloths. Out back in the dusty yard the dogs are playing as the tractors come in.
