It is on a quiet street so a very cozy/relaxing atmosphere The staff is friendly (and a bit strict) and run a very tight operation. For appetizers we got: Muscles (3/5 stars) the sauce did not add any flavour, I would not recommend them. For the main we got: - Gnocchi with shrimp: 5/5 stars it was fantastic, the portion was large, the sauce was delicious, there were plenty of fish. - Mixed seafood skewers (5/5 stars) the shrimp were the fantastic, the scallops and the sardines were great! For deset based on the waiters recommendation we got: White Chocolate moose with betries: (5/5 stars) it was fantastic (you have to mix the two bowls to get the proper experience). We also had a glass of house white and a beer, and side of potatoes. The total came to 60€.

For our main courses, we were feeling pastas so we tried the Affumchet strigoli pasta and the gnocchi. The gnocchi was not the best we've had but the pasta dish with smoked cheese blew us away and we were scraping the bowl clean by the end of our meal. We saw others ordering the seafood platters which seem to be a popular choice here Service was as you would expect in many places in Europe- slow at times but they don't make you feel rushed. The interior is well air conditioned and spacious, and they have cute outdoor seating with shade on the small carless alley they're located on. Overall great experience and would recommend if you want fresh seafood.

The first time I went to Italy, it was a long time ago and it was a quick trip just to see the tourist attractions. This time I stayed a bit longer, went to Milan, and southern Italy. It was on this trip and in particular the Southern Italy part of the trip that I developed a true appreciation for pasta. Fresh pasta with freshly made sauces. Mmmmmh!

It has a diverse menu focused primarily on seafood. Bread is served when you sit down along with local olives and two kinds of local "snacks".

Reasonable prices, excellent service, and the proprietor graciously allowed me to sit undisturbed for hours after I finished my meal as I planned my travels and watched the turquoise sea crash against the rocks.
