"We recently bought a villa around the corner that we moved into. We’ve eaten here numerous times; it’s close, it’s quick, the service has always been good and all the food has been good. We often order take away for delivery and they are quick and the food is still hot when it arrives. It’s true that it doesn’t have much of a view, but it does have outdoor seating and it is OK. Getting ready to order for delivery again tonight."

"Visited for a late afternoon meal with my wife and kids. Got a table outside on the road terrace out of the sun. Not a place to go for scenic views but pleasant enough. We only had pizzas, some garlic bread and drinks. The wait for the food was normal. The food was fantastic, lovely pizzas and garlic bread. The atmosphere was pleasant enough and the staff friendly, it got busier whilst we were there but this was managed well by the staff. All told it was about €52 which I thought was very good, compared to prices down the sea front. We will definitely be visiting again."
