In an upscale neighborhood known as Prielhof, this is one of the town's most glamorous bistros, established in 1998. It was once a sophisticated French-Austrian restaurant, and the decor remains Austrian and urbane, with a green ceramic
Kachelofen (porcelain stove) dominating one side of the dining room. Menu items are influenced by a lighter Italian cuisine and are based on whatever is good, fresh, and of high quality at the market. Savor the subtle balance of flavors and plan to make an evening of it, because it's a convivial place for food and drink. The tortellini
di patate (made with potatoes) is a succulent starter or else you may opt for spaghetti
à la diabla (with hot sauce) with fiery red peppers. The sea bass with fresh asparagus is delicate and savory. All the meat, poultry, and fish dishes are handled with skill. At the end of the meal, a
gelato à la limon (ice cream made from fresh lemons) is soothing.
