What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise the incredible freshness of the seafood and the picturesque beachside setting. While many highlight the excellent value and friendly service, a few have noted issues with food quality on occasion, specifically mentioning food poisoning from tuna tartar and dissatisfaction with frozen seafood in pasta dishes. Despite minor complaints, the overall sentiment leans positive, emphasizing the delicious food and great hospitality.
"We chose this restaurant because it seemed focused on the food rather than the ambiance or the wine. Prices are very reasonable. We ate here a total of 4 nights. Got many things but the seafood pastas and muscles were my favs. We then left for Tuscany with a cooler full of fresh caught seafood from their family owned seafood market. I would do this again and change nothing!"

"This place is a hidden gem! We stopped by on a rainy crowded night in Vieste and got seated immediately. Service was very warm and friendly and our seafood pasta dishes were great and for a good value. If you want a place not packed with tourists this is it…"
Katie Waugaman
"Top food. We recommend to take troccoli al astici. Friendly service. And very low price for what you get."
