"Wonderful place. My wife and I stopped here on a day trip in Cortona and we were greeted warmly by the owner, Emma. The cappuccino and pastries were very good, but the pizza was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is small but inviting and fills up quickly. It was a highlight of our trip for sure. I hope we get the chance to return someday!"
