DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO MEET THE RUDEST MANAGER!…read more The restaurant itself was cute, and our male server was ok.Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by what I believe was the manager, who was very unwelcoming and came across as rude and dismissive. Shoes not like children. We were a group of four adults and four children (ages 6-14) on our way to the beach. The kids were hungry, and since this was the closest restaurant, we decided to stop in for a quick bite before swimming, planning to have a larger meal afterward. From the moment we arrived, it felt like she was annoyed that we had children with us (Our children knows how to eat in a restaurant, they come from a family of fine dining chefs (their dad) they do not only eat chicken nuggets and fries) before we sat the waiter said we don't have kids food, or maybe that we weren't going to order a full meal. There was a whole menu but was told there's only a few items available. It even gave the impression that she assumed we couldn't afford the restaurant, which was uncomfortable, especially when she stands there and STARE at your table while you dine. What made the experience worse was watching her check on the other tables with a warm, friendly tone while treating us very differently and cold. The contrast was noticeable and made us feel unwelcome. As for the food, we ordered a bottle of water because we had our own personal water bottles and was told we're not allowed to drink it there, we ordered three buttered pasta dishes for the kids (which were actually the best items we had on the menu, ravioli, which was disappointing, and the salted cod. While I understand it's supposed to be salty, both the cod and the red sauce were overwhelmingly salty to the point that it affected the dish. Sadly, because of the poor hospitality, we would not return. Good service should make every guest feel welcome, regardless of whether they're ordering a light meal or a full dinner. Leaving me to NOT RECOMMEND such a rude place. There's lots of other friendlier restaurants and better food.

The food was not that impressive - it could be what we ordered, could have been the food itself. The chef sent out a starter, something fried, tasty. We moved onto the stuffed zucchini flowers, nice. Mains: we ordered the ravioli filled with sausage & potato topped with veal sauce, & an order of the tagliolini with fresh tomato & basil. The ravioli was good, the tagliolini was barely fair; the sauce was very light & did not have much flavor. Given our mains we opted out of dessert.
