Taverna Antico Agnello

We booked our holiday location without really looking at nearby restaurants as we had a car so could drive out for dinner, but fortunately this amazing restaurant was a few minutes walk away, and we ended up having three very enjoyable meals there. The setting is lovely, in the old town hall, with a terrace where we sat in the late evening sunshine. The hostess Lili is amazing, really welcoming and conversing in at least 5 languages with customers at nearby tables, her English was faultless. The wine (very important for any trip to Italy!) was really reasonably priced, with a delicious bottle of local white costing just 14 euros. The food is all freshly made, with a ravioli and risotto of the day. While you wait for your food you’re given a plate of fresh focaccia, which is a lovely touch. The starters I sampled were a duck liver pâté which was lovely and creamy, and a salmon trout carpaccio which tasted like it was fresh out of the water, and beautifully complimented with some fresh tomato. I had the tagliatelle with duck ragot, which was delicious with a lovely light pasta and rich, flavour full duck. Another day I had duck breast (spot the theme, the duck meat was sooo good!) with a raspberry sauce, which I’d never have thought of but was absolutely delicious, the duck cooked to pinky perfection. And the deserts… Lili makes them all by hand, the panna cotta is out of this world good, a definite must try! If you want an authentic slice of Italy, this is the place to go, you won’t regret it
