    Some dishes we ordered had a different price on the menu than the bill. We did the maths and the higher prices equated to the 20% discount we got from booking with the fork. We didn't say anything, as we only noticed later on. Not only is this not very nice, but it's also illegal in Italy.

    Very friendly personal, great location and super tasty food. I loved seafood and ”drunken ice cream”. You should definitely try home made vine!

    We were 6 adults and we had a wonderful time. The food was very tasty and portions were perfect. We ordered only one platter each besides the entrée (some a primo piatto and some a secondo piatto). It would have been nice that they all arrived at the same time. We ordered a bottle of red wine that was a little too warm (we had to ask for a bucket of ice to cool it down a bit). But other than those two minor details it was a very nice evening and the service was great. We will definitely be going again.

    The place was very busy and popular with locals (always a good sign). I had ravioli which was really good, and bass which was ok. I had some problems getting what I wanted (but that is my fault for not speaking the language!). The owner was friendly as I left and gave me an amaretto cookie to take away with me.

    Very good authentic Italian seafood which is more and more difficult to find in Italy, best value for money, competent and flexible staff. Just great.

    Excellent restaurant in a quiet and easily accessible part of the city. They have a very interesting menu, which combines traditional dishes with some more creative ones. Great quality, friendly and efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal there

    They were kind to welcome us even though it was a bit late. The food and beverage were pretty good and the portions were generous. At the start they brought us a delicious sparkling wine and a typical fried cheese focaccia called “Crevari’s Focaccia”. We suggest to taste tortelli or tagliatelle with scampi.

    The food good but not the best, the employees very kind and nice but the restaurant needs some improvements on the aspect and a change of menu since it's very short. They have a lot of pizzas but not too many types of pasta. We wanted to ask for some carbonara but they didn't have this option
