It was a rather casual and homey restaurant on the other side of the bridge, nestled between many touristy looking spots. So if it hadn't been a strong recommendation from our trusted source, we're not sure if we would have walked by every evening, three nights in a row, to try and get a table.
By the third night the proprietor recognised us and found a way to literally squeeze us in to a booked-solid evening.
The food was different. Not what you normally expect when dining in Northern Italy. Also this place has no fish. Mostly vegetables, and then some red meat. But it is delicious, authentic, and definitely not touristy!
