It's our third year that we come for a vacation here in this lovely town. But our first time here…read moreat this restaurant. We booked ahead, but actually besides us there was only one other table that night (a weekday).
It's a comfy, cosy place with a nice courtyard. Our Bulldog was welcome as well.
We ordered the fried seafood and the octopus meatballs for starters. A bottle of Pigato (white) with the meal.
The fried seafood was really nice. Tasted fresh and crispy. A good mix of different fish and seafood. The octopus meatballs were very disappointing. Didn't taste fresh unfortunately and had a strong flavour. Not sure it wasn't very fresh or just frozen. We love seafood, but this wasn't it.
For the mains we chose the Pesto Gnocchi and Shrimp Risotto. The Gnocchi were pretty good, the Pesto was ok. The shrimp in the Risotto were really nice, but the rice for our likings a bit overcooked - we do enjoy a bit more bite. The wine was nice though. Pigato is always a good choice.
The food was a bit on the disappointing side then. We had higher expectations, and this town has so many choices of restaurants.
Not sure it was a slow day or we were just a bit unlucky that day. The reviews are very good - but not our experience.
That said, I have to point out that our waiter was fantastic. A really nice guy, took care of us very nicely. That was really great. And the prices are fair too.
