Quattro pizza, the grilled calamari ( A MUST - actually the best calamari both of us had in our lives) and lasagne. Their house white and red were delicious. We are outside once and inside once. It's causal but friendly and festive and staff treat you well. Not to be missed.

Local cuisine at its best!!! This was one of our favorite restaurants while touring Italy, kudos…read moreto the owners/chef! We were welcomed by the owner and started off enjoying a sparkling white wine while enjoying bruschetta (local vibrant tomatoes). We spoke English and they spoke Italian and they accommodated every request with a smile. Tip: The menu is in Italian/German and English. We moved on to our next course of fresh mussels in an amazing broth. We finished our lunch with fresh pasta - mussels, clams and baby snails. Delicious! We decided that it was so tasty we would come back for dinner and so happy we did! The local wines were superb as well as the house made limoncello. For dinner we once again enjoyed the beautiful homemade pasta and this time with olive oil and peppers. The owner came our with a tray of the fresh pasta prior to it being cooked. Yumm! For our entree we shared the Swordfish with olives and cherry tomatoes. My husband thought it was one of the best fishes he has ever had, mind you he is a "foodie as I". Don't miss out eating here!!! Delicious!!!

We sat outside in the grassy area which is filled with all sorts of eclectic furniture and gazed in…read moreseveral directions admiring the view. Music was playing from outdoor speakers and the selections were great, mostly rock n roll from all decades. They are really trying to evoke a relaxed atmosphere. Our server was friendly and spoke English. We ordered a negroni cocktail and a "Negroski" an amusing variant which uses vodka instead of gin. She brought us plates of charcuterie, cheese, stuffed hot peppers, bruschetta and pita. All was very tasty. So we decided to order another beverage, and surprise surprise we received ANOTHER batch of food. Is it impossible to get drunk in Italy? Lol. The only reason we didn't get a third drink is because we were concerned we would get more food, ha ha. Did we finish the food? Yes. Did we go to dinner later? Yes. This place was wonderful and a very pleasant surprise to be located inside a tourist site.
