“ Very good position with lovely view on the passeggiata along the bay. The staff is super friendly I had the local fish spaghetti alle cozze ( mussels ). I just could not believe how good it was the ragu’ seafood. I had to ask the receipt to the chef so that I will introduce this dish in my restaurant in Sydney. Next time I will go to this restaurant I will for sure have this dish once again. ”

“ Can not recommend highly enough! The food was delicious (Grazie Elena) and the service was superb (Grazie Massimo). We had spaghetti frutti la mare and the seafood was so so fresh and delicious. We also had grilled fish and veggies - so tasty! The atmosphere was so relaxed and we had a wonderful time! ”
“ Everything was good. We showed up without a reservation and fortunately they had a table for us by the window. The wait staff is really friendly. Our dog was also welcomed. My only complaint is that I ordered the muscoli della nonna but instead they brought me the spaghetti allo scoglio. I didn't want to complain so I just ate it. It was good so harm done. The fried calamari were great as well as the mixed grilled fish platter. We also had the muscoli appetizer, but we ate it so fast I forgot to take a photo. ”
