This "olden days" restaurant is a favorite among locals searching for the rustic dishes served by their ancestors. Knickknacks fill the walls of the small, friendly dining room. A meal begins when the server plunks down a carafe of the house red and a superb spread of traditional antipasti on your table. Dishes have old-fashioned names: fave a cunigghiu is fava beans prepared with olive oil, garlic, and remarkably flavorful oregano, and vampaciucia c'anciova is a lasagne-like dish with a concentrated sauce of tomatoes, anchovies, and grapes. The meal ends well, too, with free house-made herb or fruit liquors and excellent cannoli.
