Go a bit off the beaten tourist track to try this small, charming restaurant.

Three of us shared a lovely dinner at Le Barrique on a chilly November Friday. We shared two antipasti, one serving of fabulous gnocchi, and each ordered a secondo (which were all good), shared two yummy desserts, and a bottle of wine. The total bill was 132 euros.

Unfortunately, since a few months have passed, my memory (and poor notes!) do not allow me to detail all of the food, but I will tell you it left a wonderful impression. The dining room is small and was occupied mostly by groups of two or three at small tables. Mid-way through our meal, a group of eight women came in to celebrate some occasion, adding to the fun atmosphere. The food was good and the service was welcoming, friendly, and more than competent. I would return.

Great food and friendly service!

When our B&B owner recommended we go to Enoteca le Barrique for dinner, we were a bit skeptical thinking that it was just a place for wine and the food might not be that good. But it really is a hidden gem that only locals seem to know about. There was only one other table with tourists there, and they were there also on the recommendation of a local.

The restaurant is quite small, and the owner was very friendly and was helpful with making recommendations. We shared an outstanding seafood salad to start. I had pici and my husband had lamb. With a bottle of wine the bill was about 70 euros.
