WHAT GUESTS SAY
Guest reviews
★★★★★
“We stopped in mid afternoon to do the olive oil tasting. The service was great and included nice touches like complimentary house sparkling water. This is one of the few restaurants where olive oil is showcased. If you are eating at this restaurant and don't know much about olive oil, do yourself a favour and learn what good olive oil tastes like! If you are already an aficionado of olive oil, then you will be in heaven.”
