The menu is Italian despite the restaurant's French name, and the dishes are largely familiar standards. Regulars praise the chicken-vegetable soup and the pastas. But zucchini croquettes are so heavy as to threaten to gum up the conversation. Tomato sauces and spinach dishes are good bets. Seek also the simple dishes such as butterflied trout, smoked on the premises, with lemon and herbs.
Vegetables are stodgy, and anything fancy is risky.
This is a basic, modestly priced trattoria despite a few gastronomic pretensions.
