Our party of three enjoyed a lovely dining experience last evening at Locanda del Borgo. It was our first visit, and we'll certainly return soon! The pasta, sauces, sausages, and soups are all made from scratch in-house, and the Creme Brûlée was an exceptional finish to a delicious meal. Our server was attentive to detail, explained menu items, and brought samples of several wines to help us decide on our beverage order. All in all, a delightful evening!
