Le Querce is just want you want from a local restaurant. Unpretentious, friendly, reasonably priced and excellent food. I have never eaten here and not been impressed by the quality and variety of the food. It seems to be run and staffed by an extended, entirely Italian family who always make you feel welcome and valued. The menu is, thankfully, not a huge list of the tired old trattoria standards but short and inventive and is always complimented with excellent daily specials. As well as a short desert menu they offer a wide and very, very interesting choice of home made ice creams and sorbets. Service is (putting it politely) relaxed, don't expect to pop in for a quick bite. The positive side of this is that you can take as long as you like over your meal without feeling as though they are waiting for you to leave. Since I first ate there I haven't bothered looking for anywhere else to dine out locally, I'm that happy with the place. I can't recommend it highly enough.
