Highlights were the baby suckling pig, spaghetti alla chitarra, ravioli stewed capon (seemed like some sort of braised meat), and the fried John Dory colored with squid ink. For the wine connoisseurs, this is a spot to stop - the wine list is incredibly long; there are options to drink bottomless wine by the glass as well. I asked for 2 suggestions (1 red and 1 white), and both were excellent - a rich, golden white from 2005 (forget the name), and a 2014 Burgandy Pinot that was very light and worked really nicely as a complement to the pasta and meat dishes.

Worth a visit for sure, although it is arguably a little pricey for what it is. Leaning towards a 4/5 on the rating scale. Will some pictures later.
Some photos below of the food:



The red and white I had for dinner - both were excellent.



Spaghetti alla chitarra...amazing flavor, perfectly-cooked spaghetti, and those crispy bread crumbs gave every bite a nice crunch.



Baby suckling pig as the last main course of the evening before desserts...*drool*
