Service was very slow. It seemed to be Italians downstairs and the rest upstairs. The food was good except for my veal main course with a truffle sauce, which was VERY salty. Perhaps it was supposed to be like that but all I could taste afterwards was salt and for 22euros [£22]. I expected something better. more

We enjoyed a memorable meal at Da Cesari. The food was excellent--sweet tomatoes with mozzarella, veal with truffles, perfectly al dente pasta, a chocolate dessert plus a bottle of the house wine! The service was friendly and we were made to feel right at home! more

Old and small with tables close together, but don't miss it. Food is wonderful, with choices in all price ranges. Good wine list. Excellent service. Free flavored Grappa after the meal. No Patio. Closed Sunday. more

Absolutely stunning. For ~40 Euro two of us enjoyed roasted aubergine with a delicious tomato sauce, rabbit and goats cheese stuffed ravioli, pumpkin stuffed ravioli, and a delicious bottle of wine. The staff were very friendly, service was prompt, and as an english speaking tourist, you'll be hard pressed to find a more 'authentic' experience. Widely popular with Italians as... more

Da Cesari served perhaps the best steak I've had in Italy (the one with the truffles - simply amazing), and others at the table had succulent veal with ham and truffles - also fantastic. The pasta bolognese was, as could be expected, superb. There was also a heavenly artichoke antipasto, and the salumi plates were excellent. We declined dessert, but... more

The restaurant if fairly small and reservations are a must. Highly rated and it lives up to its reputation. When are group arrived we were mistaken for another party of the same size, but this was corrected and we began to enjoy our evening. The menu reflects the seasons and local produce. Service may be on the slow side, but... more
