"Fantastic selection of wine from local wineries and superb sea food. The atmosphere is great too as it's right next to the fortifications and old city center. This is true Italy. There was a party inside the restaurant and I was served home made cake and home made nocini (walnut liquor) . What a truly great experience."

"Great seafood! Amazing service, the star of the show here is the fish, they cook to perfection. The starters are really good and the price includes coffee and some sweets. The sweets were our least favorite, but the rest is good! The grilled mix was superb!"

"We stumbled across this restaurant and what a find! All of us really enjoyed the food and it is a fish-lovers delight. One of our group is wheat intolerant and they were so helpful with choosing the dishes. Loved the brodetto and spaghetti that used the sauce afterwards. The pastry made to a secret recipe by their uncle were delicious and the limoncello, cafe crema and lemon sorbet completed a truly memorable meal."
