My rating is top-notch for every aspect, from the welcome, to the service, to the food, to the atmosphere, and the selection of ceramics and glasses—all original, one-of-a-kind pieces that really caught my attention. Regarding the food, I must go into more detail to describe the quality of the ingredients and the mastery of Chef Beppe, who, with his passion, achieves excellent results. I think the only photographs I managed to take demonstrate how appetizing and beautiful the dishes are. I can say that the cooking was perfect, and I found all the goodness in the perfect balance between the delicate yet intense flavors of the raw fish, as well as the perfect textures and creaminess of the sauces. The selection of various types of bread made by Chef Christian with different quality flours, sourdough starter, and slow leavening demonstrates attention to all the elements of an excellent and healthy meal. All this was accompanied by the excellent and vast selection of various bottles of wine that enriched the choice. As a glutton, I couldn't help but end the meal with an excellent meringue pie, perfectly balanced in flavor. It's easy to say meringue, but how difficult is it to find a balanced, not-too-sweet dessert that allows you to distinctly and pleasantly savor all the flavors and textures? The Chantilly cream filling and chocolate flakes with fresh red fruits left a lasting impression. Thanks to pastry chef Alessia. Thanks to the entire staff and thanks to the waiters who ensured impeccable service. I will be happy to be your loyal customer every time I return to Tirrenia.

The waiter readily recommended a good wine when we told him our budget. It was a bit noisy because there was some kind of celebration with live music at the cafe next door, but that didn't spoil our evening.

A few of the waiters speak English and are very nice and offer great service. Their menu is in Italian and English so that's a plus. As for the food...fresh and delicious! My husband enjoyed everything that he has ever tried here. We had the grilled swordfish, ravioli, and seafood pizza which were all great. I love the presentation they put into their food, it made me feel fancy. Haha. Oh, if you're a dessert person and you're sitting outside, make sure to go inside and check out their dessert case...it looked like they had cream puffs, crime brûlée, some tortes, and tiramisu. We chose the tiramisu and it was delightful. Definitely try this place out! Note: this restaurant is hard to spot from the main road because its tucked behind a gas station so keep your eyes open for this place.

The quality of the food is truly divine, and the seafood restaurant is highly recommended! read more The quality of the food is truly divine, and the seafood restaurant is highly recommended!

My Italian is not good and they did a great job in translating. Enjoy.
