This trattoria, named after a puppet from "The Ed Sullivan Show," features al dente pastas as its signature. Specialties include pumpkin ravioli in tomato cream sauce, saltimbocca in wine and sage, and tiramisu in a huge stemmed glass. Creative specials are offered daily, and the service is attentive and helpful, making this the best restaurant in Old Town. On weekends, you'll even find a romantic strolling string quartet.
