That's why it takes a bit longer than in other places. I highly recommend it, especially for those without children. Great food and a cozy atmosphere (if you have time ; . Authentic and wonderful!

Working solo in his tiny kitchen he serves the most creative Seafood dishes in Capoliveri and probably on the whole Island. Excellent quality, cozy atmosphere, good music, fun host. 10/10 and a top 3 Spot on Elba.

The bruschetta with anchovies was perfect, my ginger prawns were out of this world, and the octopus alla nonna del cille was incredible. The restaurant has something magical, and the limited seating makes everything very intimate. The host 's energy, with his background music, was irresistible, as was the shot of tequila we shared with him, which was wonderful. My only complaint, quoting what 's written on the menu: easy place, so take your time and enjoy your dinner, as he 's the one in charge of the dining room and kitchen. I 'd recommend at least a little help with the service.

Otherwise, the restaurant has a small menu displayed on a chalkboard. The dishes we had were simply delicious! Highly recommended. The octopus in a slightly spicy tomato soup was cooked to perfection – a wonderful comfort food. The mackerel with chickpeas was also divine. In short: be patient and treat your taste buds!

He prepares mostly seafood and traditional dishes and runs this small restaurant alone, with a calm and serene atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of Capoliveri's main streets. He's truly carved out a tasteful, very informal setting for himself in a charming alleyway. You'll eat well, listen to great music, and be sure to feel at home. Highly recommended! Thanks Francesco!
