Those who savor the flavors of Asia will enjoy a meal at this eatery, but may be disappointed if they're ravenous, for the portions can be quite small! The ambience is cheery enough, though – pretty curtains billow in windows that overlook the cobbled street, a great wooden door and pew-like seats add a quaint touch, and the garden patio, surrounded by vines, is a hotspot in summer. The slow-cooked Pork in Rhubarb-Lemon Sauce is a specialty, and noodles served with Chinese sausages are also quite popular. Chef Zakary Pelaccio is a master with meats, so muscle your way through some juicy ribs. Make your presence felt, as the staff is not too forthcoming. The wine list is decent enough - a recommended wine is the Valle Isarco Veltliner; it's surprisingly affordable.
