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!!!

Extremely nice ladies running it, very clean, food excellent and not expensive. We had two vegetable side dishes (one was stuffed zucchini flowers deep-fried--wow!), spaghetti with mixed seafood (whole crab, little conches, squid, mussels, clams in a light tomato sauce), and salmon in a potato crust (really good). It has been open only a month, we hope it becomes extremely popular. Free Wifi, too.
