Their hors d'oeuvres, pasta dishes and main fish dishes were all excellent! The evening started with a warm welcome by the owner and the staff provided attentive service throughout. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and scrupulously clean. In all, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning!

On a warm Friday evening, the terrace was very crowded. The food was okay, but the service slow. We ordered salads, and when they did not come after we had finished our pizza, we told the server that we would pass on the salads and would like our check. Ten minutes later the salads came, brought by another server. And no check. A big sign on the wall stated clearly smoking prohibited but a woman sat at a table beneath it smoking one cigarette after another, with the smoke wafting our way. When she left, she slipped some Euro notes into the server 's apron. All in all, not a very pleasant meal.

I must admit that I was a bit hesitant at first but just from the owners lovely rapport on the phone when booking a table, I was impressed. The restaurant is nicely decorated and was quite full when we arrived but we didn't have to wait long and the service was excellent.. the owner often coming to ask if everything was OK. The food was exceptional!! Between us as a family we sampled pizza, pasta and the fish menu and everything was beyond amazing! Great beer and wine too! The deserts were just as fantastic! I really can't recommend this restaurant enough! A little gem of a find, but make sure you book first as I'm sure it will generally be busy.
