"I went twice in a matter of 4 days. Certainly they didn't disappoint. The food is very good I had papadrelle, thick pasta allo scoglio and frutti di mare. My wife ordered baked cerna covered with potatoes and it was delicious. My daughter loved the spaghetti alle vongole, she was even the first to finish out of 8 people even though she usually is a slow eater. The bread was also AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! The staff are welcoming and very helpful. I look forward to go again."

"Ho mangiato davvero molto bene! L’antipasto di mare era abbondante, vario e freschissimo – un mix di sapori ben equilibrato, con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Anche gli spaghetti alle vongole erano deliziosi: cottura perfetta della pasta e condimento saporito ma delicato. Il servizio è stato impeccabile, con personale cortese, attento e sempre disponibile. Un’esperienza decisamente positiva, da ripetere!"
