However, since the beginning we didn’t feel very welcome because we didn’t speak Italian. The restaurant was empty (most 10 tables occupied of more than 50). We had a basket of bread, bottle of wine and decided to share a dish simply because we were not hungry enough to have 2. The owner was not happy and kept asking if we wanted something else but that was enough for us. At the end, the bill was EUR 34,00 (which is not cheap for what we had) and we asked to pay with card, but the owner started pretending the machine was not working we had to insist several times until she agreed to “try” and of course it worked. We left the restaurant with the two owner screaming at us saying shouldn’t come back to spend 34,00 that we should go to a pizzeria next time.

The seafood antipasti looked great and the calamari were beautifully cooked. Lovely setting in the garden made for a delicious lunch

I also noticed that the chef was not only a good speaker, but also a skilled cook. We were all very pleased with the food served, and I personally returned several times to enjoy more of the delicious dishes. I definitely recommend this place.
