A terrific dining experience as we lucked out and were seated at the chef’s table for lunch. The Wild Boar Pappardelle was terrific paired with the Barbera d’Asti. Food and service were top notch as expected, the chef’s table experience made for more entertainment than expected (as I enjoy cooking and love Italian food).
