    Ambient is really nice, and staff very professional. Some dishes were exquisite, like the Cheesecake for a starter, Somewhere OK like pasta with octopus or tradizionale. Overall, I recommend this experience.

    The food was nice but I think we must of gone on a bad day. It was dead , they were playing dreadful music. Service was friendly but it was all a bit lacklustre. I wish I’d gone elsewhere.

    Hello we are sorry if you expected something else, we are interested that he ate well and was served very well then that he did not like the atmosphere music it does not matter, if we have to worry about a review for the background music we are at the fruit, good things

    Came for a 4-course menu for Christmas Eve. The service was sporadic and poor. They tried to rush and serve the pasta course while we were still eating the antipasto. Then, they only served one person and the second person’s dish came 15 minutes later. Then for the dessert, they refused to give coffee and tried to clear the plates before we were done. They then came around and told us we had to leave even though we were still finishing our drinks. Food was salty and mediocre at best. Service was rushed and a bit rude.

    We are sorry that I took it badly but I was quite clear about the two sessions so there was a very specific time, they are special evenings and I gave everyone the opportunity to stay 2 hours at the table without rushing, on your part there was hostility from the first course with a request to the waiter to go slowly on purpose so as not to get up despite seeing the lower room that was filling up from the wait, obviously after 2 hours I have to ask you the courtesy of clearing the table but without being rude unfortunately I repeat they are special evenings and we are two different cultures so we can't understand each other even on the food for nnt salty in fact you are the only one who complained about the atmosphere created

    Friendly and good service as well as great appetisers, we ordered pretty much everything to share. Pasta dishes and mains could not keep up. A bit salty and the flavours didn't blend very well. Small but cozy

    Staff are all very nice, but a cup of very simply made coffee latte(it is very very hot, not like from a professional coffee machine) tastes like instant coffee, is charged 4 euro, this makes me feel bad.

    Bn sera se pensasse che ho accontentato una sua richiesta proprio per non sentirmi io a disagio essendo ristorante e non bar 😅 come sempre dico non c'è valutazione del cibo il che mi lascia perplesso perché si valuta un caffè latte 🤔

    It was definitely one of the best meals I have ever had. We started with mussels and octopus as appetizers, followed by tuna sausages with friarielli as the main course. The mussels and octopus were amazing—so simple yet so tasty. The tuna sausages were such a surprise, I had never tried anything like them before. Perfectly balanced and delicious. We also enjoyed a local white wine, which paired beautifully with the food. The atmosphere and service were excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Booked this restaurant after reading the excellent reviews on The Fork website. We were not disappointed at all. It’s quite a small restaurant, 3/4 tables downstairs with several more on an upper level. Simply but effectively decorated. We were the first to arrive but within 10 minutes it became very busy. Our waiter was lovely, very polite and friendly and extremely helpful. The food was beautifully presented and so full of flavour. The menu is a complete change from the norm and all of the restaurants within the vicinity. We benefited from The Fork discount which was great but even without the discount I would recommend it highly. Excellent food at a very reasonable price with a nice ambiance and great service. Thank you.

    Great food. Interesting ways of elevating dishes you have had at other places. Don’t miss this little gem.

    We dont give 10/10 lightly - but this meal was by far our best in Naples/Ischia! The steak was cooked to perfect, included a gravy and the vegetables had just the right kick to them. The fish and chips, a very clever and perfect interpretation of a British classic and the genovese pasta had such a deep and rich flavour. The white wine was so brilliant we took the rest of the bottle there and then! I have to say, the new waiter (day 2) was amazing, very attentive and helped us translate things - we hope he received his share of the tip! The chef was fabulous too, you can tell this is a restaurant built on pride of the quality of the meal and the ambience. Possibly one of the best restaurants we have been to - from London to Italy. Keep up the great work!

    Small family place with great food and lovely staff. Flavourful bruschetta, the stuffed zucchini flowers were amazing and the deserts to die for. You should definitely try!
