Firstly, restaurant were ready to make pasta carbonara (was not in menu) for children, and children rated it as very tasty. We were 2 adults and 2 children. Secondly, I took second meal and it was not exactly what I wanted. But then I ordered additional meal and tried to explain to waitress what I want (I think I didnt know what exactly I wanted:D) and they bring exactly what I wanted tasty seafood mix. My girlfriend took seafood risoto, very tasty. Maybe the best seafod rissoto which I have tried. Wide range of emotions and lot of fun suggest this restaurant. But dont be afraid to speak with waiters and ask about meals to get exactly what you want.

We visited this restaurant in December, and despite the season, it was completely packed: that alone speaks for itself. The welcome was warm and professional, the place was very well-kept and pleasant, but the real highlight was undoubtedly the food. Every dish we tried was excellent, prepared with quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The real highlight of the evening? The fusilloni with tuna and eggplant sauce: something indescribable, PHOTOTONIC, a must-try! And can we mention the fried fish? Light, crispy, and incredibly flavorful. A restaurant that wins you over in every way and is truly worth a visit. Highly recommended.

The Box 19 appetizer is very special and generous, enough for three people. The Amativo red wine is excellent and as cheap as online. Thanks to Matteo, the owner.

However, the friendliness (e.g., a smile), especially towards tourists, could be improved. The decor is tasteful and harmonious, though it could be enhanced with warmer lighting. The house limoncello is a delight!
