It might have been hard to get an order in otherwise. They seemed to open up the kitchen and dining area for us. The dining area was right next to the beach. Some of our party of 4 went walking on the beach looking for rocks and shells while we waited for our food. The relaxed atmosphere was quite pleasant. We spent at least two hours here visiting with each other and having coffee, etc. We had time to kill before catching an overnight ferry to Salerno at Messina. The food was good except for the shrimp cocktail appetizer. It had more sauce than shrimp. I'm sure they could have used the excess sauce for 10-12 more servings.

I visited this establishment on a Sunday in late August and was pleasantly surprised by the people still working there with such professionalism and dedication. Everything was perfect: the welcome, the food, the attention to detail, the cleanliness. Added to all this are the competitive and super affordable prices, especially considering the high quality of the service offered. The only flaw, if I could offer a suggestion for improvement for next season, is the booking management: I admire the fact that they allow reservations and reserve a spot without any strings attached. However, since people generally have little regard for others, they might call a week in advance to secure the best spot, then never show up, and they don't even have the good sense to call to cancel. As a result, perfect spots remain sadly empty while new requests are rejected, or families are assigned spots far from the children's pool, forcing them to wander around the area for the whole day. But despite this, I can only recommend this place and say that I will definitely be back!
