I should anticipate that I participated in a set meal for 17, so this may not be indicative of their best cuisine. The appetizer (smoked salmon and swordfish, shrimps, baccalà mantecato) was ok. The first dish was disappointing: while the fish sauce was steaming hot, the underlying pasta (paccheri) was cold and overcooked, and strangely enough it was made of two different kinds of pasta. The second dish was better, a remarkably good sea bass cooked in the oven accompanied by a cauliflower and bitter herbs pasticcio. We were served good local white wine. 3 bullets and a half would be the correct evaluation, if it were possible.

My friends pre reserved the table and arranged with the maitre 'd to have a homely meal, with the choices at the discretion of the chef. We had a four course meal, with seafood crudo appetizer, a seafood gnochi primi, roast tuna steaks secondi and a fruit salad dessert. The wine was a local white, Friulano (which eons ago used to be called Tokay, but after the European Union intervened the name was changed as the Tokay belongs to the legendary Hungarian dessert wine). The dishes we had were very good the dessert was a bit flat. This is not a haute cuisine place but it gives a good option, with very friendly service. I have eaten here on a number of occasions, and never had a complaint about the seafood; however it is a good idea to consult the maitre 'd or the waitstaff for suggestions. I found their tips useful and reliable.
