    Restaurant with white tablecloth and cloth nap ins. Indoor/outdoor table selection. Great food and decent prices.

    The food here was excellent! Some of the best we had in Italy. The staff was great and they were very accommodating of our one and a half year old’s eating habits! We actually went again the next night because we enjoyed the food so much. Highly recommend!

    We have been here several times over the years, and always found it 'top notch' despite changes of ownership. Regretfully though, last week's experience was not as good. We ordered Beef tagliata, and whilst my sister's was fine, (and she's the fussiest of eaters), mine was not - in fact I would have been reluctant to use it for Stewing. Probably, and hopefully, a one-off. Nevertheless, it did put us off returning during our holiday.

    The lady that took our initial order was great. Engaging and funny. Just what you want on a night out as a tourist. Then the old guys watering and overseeing got involved. Poor service ensued. And impatient looks, bad attitude and blatant rudeness. (Mainly the old guy who acted like the owner. He dropped a dirty knife into the lap of my friend and couldn't have cared less. By the way we were all sober and not loud or awkward at all.) It was our worst dining experience in Maiori on a 5 day visit. Food was average. I had a Tagliatelle with beef that was edible but totally uninspiring. This place needs to move on if it's going to get better reviews.

    Food and service were amazing! The only problem is that the street where the restaurant is located is very noisy with traffic.

    very frequented place. The menue offers from fish to meat to Pizza all you expect from Italian cuisine. I was positively surprised to get a plate of crudo which is raw fish and shrimps, my favourites. The pasta vongole was very good even the important crema was not to excellency. A real Italian would complain but anyway the taste was good and the clams tasty and fresh. Good wine by carafe. I absolutely can recommend. I saw the pizza looked fantastic and I wouldn't mind to try next time

    This restaurant was very overpriced for the quality of the food that we received. It seemed like a tourist trap. The raw fish antipasto was too expensive and not very good, while ghe pasta with fish lacked flavour and the homemade pasta was not good.

    The food wasn’t as good as the other reviews say and our white wine wasn’t cold. The staff was friendly though.

    The food was marginal at best. I've had better food at a fast food restaurant. Same with the service.

    I think this restaurant is a Lille gem. We were looking for a nice place for pizza, and we found wonderful food and staff. The road noise was a bit much, sitting on the patio, but inside it would have been fine. An excellent choice, and a lovely restaurant to look at as well.

    This small but nice tetaurant we found thro trip advisor and glad we did fabulous food / wine and staff were really helpful and friendly , with the open kitchen you can see the high quality of hygiene and watch the chefs prepare your food a bit more expensive than others but worth it . This place I would recommend

    My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here. The general atmosphere was warm and welcoming. There was a great selection of food options. Everything we ordered was delicious, including the wine. We did not feel rushed at all. The owners and wait staff were more concerned with pleasing their customers and not just turning tables.

    The food was terrible, the service even worse. I complained about the pizza and was then questioned about my opinion. The servers are also very rude. We were asked where we were from, when I answered ‘London’, he turned up his nose and walked off… Someone else did the same to a Latvian couple behind us. Wouldn’t recommend.

    This is my second time after eating here because I saw something on the menu that I wanted to try and it was a right choice! The stuffed calamari is simply out of this world! Keep it up!

    It's a must if you are staying or passing by Maiori! Delectable seafood and excellent service makes this restaurant stand above the rest! Domenico is a great manager!

    Some dishes may be good but the relation between food and price is expensive.

    It was okay… not the best I’ve had while I’ve been in Italy. About the same as back in England… if not a bit worse. It was a shame as they made a real effort with making the table all nice as it was our honeymoon.
