Waitress ran us down outside after I left thinking we had overpaid because I had given her a €10 tip. I hope it wasn't insulting but she truly deserved it. She had limited English skills, still far better than my Italian, but was patient with us and curated the best restaurant meal of my life. Unless you have a lot of issues with seafood, come here without inhibition and eat whatever they serve you. You're in good hands.

Just a huge slab of steak but grilled to perfection. Get a table close to the kitchen and you can watch eveything being prepared by the very friendly and welcoming staff.

Authentic in that we were the only non Italian people eating here, there were Italian kids running around the streets outside, the server didn't speak English, etc. This is a huge plus for me because I really wanted a true Italian experience and not a tourist stop. This fit the bill and more. Not only was the food delicious but the prices are much better than anything on the tourist strips. We all had entrees, dessert, wine and even a pizza to go and it was still cheaper than most of our other meals. The pizza was DELICIOUS!! I would definitely recommend this place!
