"It was the best pasta with shrimps🫶 so delicious fresh and just amazing! On the picture it’s just one shrimp on the top but inside there’s a lot of peeled shrimps as well! So shrimp pasta is a must try! Perfect with sparkling rose wine 🫶"

"When you Google "tourist trap" a picture of this place should come up! How do I begin?? The prices are outrageous for the quality of the food. We ordered the Spaghetti and clams, it was tasteless, bland and small portion for 28EUR. They charge 7EUR for water without gas. The Calamari fritto was ok. All night and we had to ordered water from 3 different people, they were all running like chickens without head. I would definitely stay away from this place. You can get better food, better service and better service anywhere in Italy!!
Response follow up: Quality ingredients doesn't mean quality meal. Your food is bad for the price. If it was good I'll say that, I stand by my honest review and people reading this can make their own decisions. You are a tourist trap and many other reviewers say the same. Based on your response I'll be afraid to even sit at this restaurant. God forbid if one's complains in person might end up sleeping with the fishes. Arrivederci e buona fortuna!"
