    This restaurant is hands down the best in the area. The squid ink risotto made with fresh seafood and the homemade basil pesto pasta were outstanding. The quality of the locally-produced white and red wines was also excellent. The service here was the best I’ve experienced in Italy, and I would love to return if I get the chance.

    It's a small restaurant just below the train station, not near the many restaurants that cluster near the main downtown piazzas. So, encouraged by other reviews, we booked and were very pleased with the ambience, the excellent server and especially the food. Truly great. The fried seafood plate was delicate perfection. The champion on mushroom and grilled veg plate also.

    Nice little restaurant runs by the family. The service was the main issue for us about this dining experience as it’s so slow and many times you could get the attention of the staff. The food was ok and the ambiance was good.

    More than one plate was extremely salty. Couldn’t eat it, but payed for it.

    Tourist beware. My wife and I dined at this restaurant and ordered the beef tartare as recommended in the app. Ended up having severely food poisoning and diarrhea. Ruined our trip in Italy. Service is top notch yet the place was very noisy. A guest at the next table was so frustrated by some noisy guests and started banging things on the table in protest. I would warn tourist dining there ....at least not ordering anything raw or not fully cooked.

    The menu reads well but the food isn’t anything like the description. Over 50 minutes from ordering to getting our starter, my wife’s deep fried prawns were cold and my seafood risotto was under cooked. My wife’s “rack of lamb” was old mutton chops which had been boiled and then fried to finish, the vegetables side of artichoke purée just do with lamb of any kind. My dish main was tiny and it was supposed to be served with rosemary potatoes, it was actually served with black potatoes which were completely unseasoned. Our wine had a bitter aftertaste when being served so the waiter replaced it, when I told him when paying the bill that it was one of the worst meals we had ever had he told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and that the wine we said wasn’t right was perfect and that I was being difficult! I asked him why my potatoes didn’t have rosemary seasoning at which he replied they had! I found his attitude very poor and wouldn’t want anyone else getting ripped off with awful food and poor service.

    Delicious food and attentive service. The gnochettis and the pistachio semifreddo are highly recommended.

    Excellent food, creative combinations and nice presentation. Just be forwarned the portions are small. The seafood salad is fantastic. We did arrive on time for our 6:30 reservation, but we're told that the cook would not be there till 7:00 so we left, walked around for about half an hour and returned later. They still honored the fork discount.
