Trattoria del Gesumin

Travelling solo i find that i'm often put into a corner and am then the last to be served. When i entered this Trattoria i was the first of the evening and was welcomed with a loud BuonaSerra from both the waitress and the proprietress. I was seated at the front of the restaurant and promptly offered water (which is something alot of restaurants seem to overlook). I asked for a glass of red and was given a lovely house wine. I asked if there were any specialties from the chef and the waitress pointed me to the veal or beef. As the beef was served with polenta, and i'd read that was a local dish, i order the beef. OH MY GOODNESS, this was fantastic. At 17Euro, it was reasonably priced and the taste ... i had to eat it slowly just to keep that fantastic flavour. I opted for the home-made warm apple cake as a dessert and that didnt disappoint either. I will be going back to this Trattoria as soon as my stomach allows. Also, as i visited in the Winter months, many restaurants are closed, so i am very pleased to say this one remains open. Make a bee-line for via Cinque Giornatte, 44 and give your tastebuds a treat.
