Bitta Ristro certainly surprised us. We were staying in AltaVilla and went into town for groceries expecting to head back to the beach to be let down by some tourist trap. Luckily my wife found Biitta Ristro in Google and we were very happy she did.

As Americans, we can get through antipasti and primi, but seconds is barely possible. We get full rather quickly and wish that didn't occur tonight. Our antipasti of grilled pulpo was AMAZING!
