“ One of the best seafood restaurant I have tried in the region ”
“ Tasting menu was great, very friendly service. Even brought my dog a water bowl, which was very nice. Overall tasty food, nice ambience and very good prices. Worth a visit ”
“ A nice fish restaurant, pleasant service and price, delicious meals. Right next to the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves. ”
“ 5* reastaurant! Perfect for dishes with fishes and seafood. You must be here at least once! ”
“ Local fish and seafood restaurant with summer terrace by the sea. Many fried dishes and some pasta dishes. Service is fast and efficient. Prices are in line with seaside restaurants and trattorias. I tried the fried mushroom (porcini impanati) but the fried taste takes over on the normally tasty mushroom. The fried seafood dishes were fresh and serving quantities are ok. I only wanted calamari but it turns out the restaurant adds fried vegetables in the plates, even in the so called “fritto misto”, which usually consists of seafood and fish. Necessary to book in advance as there are not that many tables. ”
“ The trattoria is very nicely located on a promenade beach. There are a few restaurants here and the differences are difficult to see. The focus here is on seafood - as the name suggests. The gates did not open until 7pm in the evening, even though the entrance said 6.30pm. You can either sit directly on the promenade, inside or in the "winter garden" in between. The tables fill up quickly. Reservations are advisable during the season. The dishes are damn delicious and unfortunately I didn't make another course after antipasti and primi. The price is quite fair. ”
