This small Italian restaurant is run out of what seems to be a small house by the side of the road in Pittsfield, about a 35 45 minute drive from campus. Reservations are recommended, and do not blow one off without calling them, or come significantly late, as you may be blacklisted. Show up, and the personal service here is unsurpassed, an absolute joy. The cook, Tom, may serve you personally, chat with you, and occassionally brings Williams students free appetizers. They love us there.

Everything is made fresh to order and freshly acquired that morning. No one I've eaten with has ever had one single complaint. The salad is a mix of fresh everything-you-can-imagine yet perfectly harmoniousto the taste, and amazing delighting even to non-salad enthusiasts (eg, [[Jonathan_Landsman|me]]). The spicy tomato corn soup is a balance of light spice and bold tomato flavor that will astonish you with its subtle perfection -- go for the full bowl, you'll be wanting it. Hot bread is brought out constantly (though you may have to remind the cute waitress if you don't mind fear filling up on it) and is warm, chewy, and thick. For an appetizer, be sure to get the goat cheese "chevre-deux," though some favor the fried onion with a little salt.

I won't even speak about entrees. You can't go wrong. Though this is not a vegetarian restaurant, most meals happen to be veggie, so this place is very friendly to eaters of that ilk. Be sure to listen to the specials before deciding, as there is always something to make you want to be adventurous. This place serves pretty much the best food I've had while at Williams.
