Service and the food were both excellent. Charming Italian waitress. Innovative and interesting menu. Rather quiet on day we were there so able to enjoy conversation.
We enjoyed our visit to Asti. The staff were friendly and the food was very tasty with a good choice on the menu and additional daily choices on the board all sounded delicious. Would certainly go back again.
We had a fabulous meal and wonderful service on a snowy evening in April! We would recommend the macaroni and rigatoni and the house Genovese
