Only stopped for lunch while visiting the church. Fantastic food, lovely staff and amazing views. Can't remember the names, but seafood pasta and salsiccia pasta were both fantastic as was the bruschette starter 👌🏻 Highly recommend, off the beaten track and well worth the effort getting here! Grazie tutti ❤️
