“ Wonderful find on the road from Bonifaccio to Ajaccio. Authentic, first-rate Corsican cuisine, a down home village atmosphere, and amazing service. The Sanglier (wild boar) is not to be missed. Highly recommend ! ”
“ Such a lovely and quaint place! But woah the food! It was of a good standard given being in small village/town (which has some nice views) the service was good, very proud hosts who are proud of their food which is grown locally. We had Charcuterie (good stuff) Veal in forrestierre sauce (mushroom) with tagliatelle (wonderful) Big piece of veal with potatoes Chipolatas with fries. And the coffee was of a good quality! Would have loved to come here again before leaving Corsica! Thoroughly recommend it ”
“ Lovely little restaurant, with friendly staff and deliciously cooked meat dishes which are generously portioned. I took the Cote D’aneau which was perfectly cooked and tender with a side of this amazing cheesy courgette gratin. ”
