We started with a revisited parmigiana (sea bass and capicollo), seafood crudités, and an excellent mix of cooked antipasti. Next, hazelnut-crusted red tuna with saffron potatoes, and seared octopus on pistachio cream. For the first course, a ravioli with burrata cream, shrimp, and zucchini chips. I was speechless. And another first course, semolina gnocchi with scampi and lime. For the second course, we sampled the almond-crusted swordfish ingot with potato flan, which we had sampled among the antipasti. To finish on a sweet note, the sporcamuss-millefeuille with custard and berries was a fitting conclusion to this food and wine journey. I'm always traveling, between Puglia, Lazio, and Romagna, but if I were to return, I would gladly return.

The moment I sat, waiter asked if I drink still or sparkling water, replied out of habit. He then brought a bottle from the fridge, which on a rainy windy day is a rather poor idea. You see locals wearing down sweaters, not an american to get iced water

Excellent seafood restaurant. The service is rather fun and cheerful, but it does the job. The food is fresh, well prepared. I also recommend the desserts. read more Excellent seafood restaurant.
