Fodor's Review:

Owner Fausto Oneto is a man of many hats—don't be surprised if he wears six different ones during the course of a meal. Though original cartoons cover the walls and a children's playground is the main feature of the outdoor seating area, Fausto is completely serious about his cooking. Lamb dishes are particularly delicious, the vegetables from his own garden provide the freshest of ingredients, and the wine list (ask to visit the cantina) is excellent. For those who want to learn the secrets of Ligurian cuisine, Fausto provides lively morning cooking lessons.
