"Nice Italian seafood restaurant, average prices and high quality food! pasta was very nice and fried calamari was delicious!"
Adriano Marra
"Overpriced for what they offered! I didn’t have any picture of the grated mussels, but believe me, they were absolutely dry and not fresh! The octopus was ok, the linguine with scampi was ok, we have ordered fries for the kids which half of them were undercooked, and half of them were cold (probably taken from leftovers?). I can’t blame on the service, poor guys you can see they work under pressure and stalked by the owner… overall experience not as expected, you can feel it’s more touristic offering fast peace meals, I would definitely avoid in future!"
