Besides the fresh, unique, and tasty dishes, it was one of the few times I left a seafood restaurant without any repercussions for my shellfish allergy (shrimp, prawns, etc. . Of course, I let them know about this when I booked, and the evening and afterward went like clockwork. So, thank you again, and we'll definitely be back.

We had very high expectations, a situation that usually makes complete satisfaction difficult. Our expectations were far exceeded, from the service to each dish. We were very well advised in choosing the wine and some dishes we added to the tasting menu. The modest atmosphere, which we really liked, isn't meant to be too pretentious and doesn't distract from the dishes being served (at most, the aging refrigerators do! . All the dishes are truly exceptional; you can see the passion and professionalism they put into them. Very few restaurants prepare fish this way. Exceptional aging, perfect cooking, and flavor combinations that aren't too aggressive work perfectly. Furthermore, their approach minimizes waste, allowing you to taste parts of the fish you don't usually find. The dessert also pleasantly surprised us. Another important note: the prices are in line with the quality of the products served. We thank all the staff at Kraken; we hope to return soon.

I have a weakness for raw and cured local fish. I find a skill and passion in these dishes that perhaps surpasses that of the cooked ones, even though they are excellently made. We just wish the place had been a little warmer at the tables. We'll definitely be back. Federico and Martina

The place is easy to get to and has convenient parking. Simply but tastefully decorated, it's beautiful when you walk in, with the open kitchen and refrigerators hanging with fish cured meats—swordfish, tuna, amberjack, and more. We ordered tuna bresaola, belly prosciutto, tuna coppiette, seafood tripe, and porchettato (amberjack). Everything was exceptional, but the belly prosciutto and the tripe were sublime! We continued with three first courses: fusilli with squid ink and raw ham, spaghetti with black garlic, citrus fruits, and leccia salami, and amatriciana with tuna guanciale. All truly delicious, delicate, and bold in flavor. After all that, the fish soup with 15 types of fish arrived (you have to order it at least the day before). All the cleaned fish and shellfish were delicious, served with the inevitable toasted bread. We were so moved!!!! Finally, the desserts were few but well-made: delicate and not cloying tiramisu, vanilla mousse with puff pastry and Nutella (a much tastier version of the sbiciolata), and a homemade magnium, which was amazing. To finish, the bitters—you won't find the conventional ones, but something more sophisticated. We had agave America, a gentian from the Aosta Valley, and a cent'erbe. Everything was top-notch. I'll definitely be back to try more...thanks for the great experience.
