    We dined here the other night and had a wonderful experience. The place, the service and of course, the food, were all exceptional. Oysters, scampi and fried anchovies. Taste treats each. Celiac, is not a problem. Thank you.

    The food--we had Sea bass--was excellent. The concept of the restaurant includes having the patrons set their menu by choosing from the array of fresh fish and shellfish displayed on a bed of ice. There was a good selection of wines for our taste and budget. The experience would have been much more enjoyable if the staff had been warmer in their greeting, explaining the process, and seating us at our table rather than just pointing at it. In fact being seated on arrival with a little explanation of the menu and selection process would have been nice. We came away with the feeling that these folks don't enjoy what they are doing.

    Absolutely amazing food, you won't be disappointed! The octopus is the best we have ever had! The let down was the toilet, no soap or paper and we had the resavation for just after they opened at 7:30 pm.

    Fresh and well cooked dishes. Service on the average without explanation of dishes when they arrive. Ambience cool inside. I would have expected more client oriented service.

    This is a very special and unique restaurant. You select your fish when you arrive and the style in which you would like it cooked … grilled, fried, Mediterranean. It is weighed and sent to the kitchen to be prepared. You also select the accompaniments. The fish is fresh, the preparation perfect. We went back a second night after our first visit. Don’t miss this when you are in Lecce!

    4.5/10

    Extremely poor service from staff who were surly and unhelpful. Food was unremarkable with no explanations given about how the fish would be cooked, what would be served with it and no information was given on what side dishes could be ordered either verbally or from a menu. We were charged for service although we weren’t offered any bread or oils to have with our meal. The individual who dealt with our bill literally did not speak to us - he was extremely rude.

    It is a bit confusing when you go in as you are recommended to choose fish before sitting down and having a drink! Not normal for us. We want to sit down, relax and have a drink while thinking about what we want to eat . Food excellent but perhaps a Maitre D is needed to help folk through the ordering process

    The restaurant is surprisingly good, even for locals like me. It serves fresh sea caught fish, you can tell it by the taste and by the look. Being able to select the fish by yourself is indeed a plus. No frozen seafood or factory fish.

    4/10

    Disappointing experience. The process of having to “choose your fish and select items on the menu” before even sitting down at the table was very confusing. We had to stand in line with 10 other people, while the restaurant staff had a really hard time explaining what the dishes included or even recommending anything. People were getting annoyed at how disorganised it was and we hadn’t even sat down. Once at the table, the restaurant staff would forget to get the wine, drop the plates etc. The food was really average for a very hyped up restaurant. The raw fish was not very tasty, the fried fish was really ok and the tiramisu average. Finally to pay the bill we still had to stand in line at the counter with 5 other people to pay- which is surprising for a 100€+ dinner for two people. Overall a disappointing experience, we were really excited to try it.

    Excellent sea food dishes with chance to pick your pieces of fish directly yourself; great local white wine to accompany the meal. Service flexible and attentive, space and decor good and background music just right. Highly recommend this restaurant and thank you for a great meal!

    Good fresh fish. You asked to choose your dish at the fish counter before you are seated, which is stressful, the menu on the wall is in Italian, they didn’t have an English one, not a good client experience.

    The food was ok, but nothing special. We didn’t like that you have to order standing in front of the board where the menu was written, before sitting down on a table. Tip: bring a board to the table so guest can first sit down and relax. And have some time to decide what to order. The prices are ok for fresh fish.

    Fresh food and cooked with very good quality. Atmosphere was amazing with all the xmas lights, just keep in mind that this restaurant is fish based, so you will most likely going to spend quite a bit, but what you get for all that money spent it is all worth in the end. Can't recommend enough to at least try the restaurant once

    Nice place, very quiet atmosphere helped by the fact that only 4 tables were occupied (I think there are too many). Formula is interesting: you choose your fish and dishes from the “market”. There was not a lot of choices, but it was on Monday. Service is professional but a little bit impersonal and “cold”. Food good but not great. Price ok, helped by the offer. To be back

    The decor was wonderfully quirky and creative. The food was local fish which was very fresh. You actually pick your seafood out. The servers were discrete, yet prompt and attentive. It was a very pleasant meal.

    Great food, and loved the desserts and overall friendly waiters/waitresses. Only minor detail, they assigned us table 18 in a corner which was probably the worst table and the restaurant wasn't even full, but we were allowed to change tables to no.10 which was great.
