Appetizers were ok, nothing exceptional, the wine, a rose from the area, was ok too, then came...the big bummer, calamari a la Calvi, basically completely overcooked rings of calamari, perhaps even from a can, surrounded by tomato paste and pesto, all from a can, plus one slice of a raw tomato. It was so disgusting my wife and I stopped about halfway through. The cheese we got afterward was a goat cheese of no particular interest. After the dinner we talked to the lady manager what kind of main course this was supposed to be, but she was not very receptive to complaints or suggestions (ours was: get rid of this dish) although we speak fluent French and she certainly understood our line of thought. We had to have a few stiff drinks to flush down the disgusting taste in our throats in a bar downtown and we vowed never to set foot in this restaurant again.

Mussels were exceptionally good value, at €10 or so, and the wild boar was tasty and good. the service was charming, if a little slow at times. This was the only place we ate twice, and would say...that it was particularly good for Calvi, which has many over priced restaurnts. The position, below the bastion, in a shady area was appealing. I don; 't think that you can go wrong here.
