Fried mixed seafood...where there was no PARANZA.

Well-spaced umbrellas and comfortable loungers. Table service is adequate, and prices are reasonable for the quality served; poor for the seafood, good for the pizza. The DJ entertainment is disruptive: the music is deafening at the table, distracting on the beach, and too loud to ensure proper relaxation.

We looked at the menu, wondering what to order for lunch. After choosing and ordering takeout to eat in the camper, we waited a short time and then went to the camper for lunch. Mussels in sauté were delicious, thanks also to a generous dressing of extra virgin olive oil. Zucchini flowers, ricotta, and anchovies on stracciatella cheese, truly excellent and light. Seafood salad with fresh yet fragrant vegetables. Cavatelli allo scoglio was good, but... too tough for our taste. We brought it back and they replaced it with Tonnarelli allo scoglio, which was excellent but slightly bland. While waiting for the next dish, they offered us a glass of wine. Kind and helpful beyond our expectations. In the end, we ordered more of their seafood salads because they were truly successful. When we paid, the barista suggested we stop by after dinner for a coffee, on their behalf. It's probably not the place where we've eaten the best, but it's definitely the place where we've been treated the best, even though we only ordered takeout. Congratulations. You're standing out from the average restaurant.
