Food was great- friends had the seafood platter which looked amazing, I had the swordfish which was delicious! Reasonably priced decent portions

The service, however, would deserve 2 out of 5 only at best to tell the truth. I still want to emphasise the food though, hence 4 out of 5. Everything we tried (prosciutto, melone, crostini, pizze, fish perfect. Large plates, a lot of food nicely prepared and served, and simply delicious. They seem to lack champagne flutes, though as the champagne was served in a typical wine glass. The service, however, seems a bit slow and unattentive, and they appear to prefer the locals over foreign tourists, at least in terms of cordiality. Not impolite, but not too ambitious and outgoing friendly either. If you can live with that, then you will have a great experience.

Food was great, wine was great, service was awesome. AMAZING view if you sit outside. I recommend trying the swordfish steak. We went in August 2011, and if we ever go back to Italia...we will be revisiting this restaurant!

We weren't thrilled with the first courses, which were a bit disjointed and lacking in fish sauce. The lasagna and the delicious second courses were truly a small portion. Overall, a fairly positive experience.

Good, fresh fish. Excellent service. Friendly and punctual. Dogs welcome. read more Good, fresh fish. Excellent service. Friendly and punctual. Dogs welcome.
