We served a normal roasted octopus in a plate full of pesto and a sea salad with almost raw and hard potatoes. as before, we choose a small spaghetti with curly pulp and one with clams, the first with a very small pulp and the second with a lot of sand, along with a pasta also raw and unsaturated. taken from hunger we finally order a fried, totally without salt and defined frozen. total account at the change of 90€. experience, despite, not to recommend. nb cost of choice of wine bottle 18€

The waiters were very polite, speak English, and helped in choosing dishes. I recommend this place, a large selection of fish dishes, everything is fresh and very tasty. A great atmosphere, not noisy, pleasant music. I'll gladly come to this place again.
