Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Cibo di qualità e personale molto cortese. Rapporto qualità prezzo medio alto ma nella norma visto la qualità del cibo."
"We ended up canceling all our other reservations and came here every single night of our holiday week. Every dish was outstanding – the best octopus, the most tender squid, perfect pizza, fresh pasta, and desserts to die for (the tiramisu is unforgettable). Always fresh, always different, never a single issue. Fantastic service and truly the highlight of our trip! Cedric & Tho (Belgium)"
"3 persone, 40 euro a testa, togliendo il vino, abbiamo diviso come antipasto una frittura (mediocre, i totani erano abbastanza crudi) e un antipasto della casa (buono ma niente di che, classico antipasto che ti danno in tutti i locali di mare)…come portata principale abbiamo preso uno spaghetto alle acciughe del giorno (molto buono), una ricciola al forno del giorno (buona) e uno stoccafisso all’elbana (anch’esso con il merluzzo leggermente crudo però buono di sapore)…il servizio è ottimo, i componenti dello staff sono simpatici e cordiali…c’è un po’ di cose da migliorare in cucina però resta un ottimo locale per famiglie e gruppi di amici per godere di una serata tranquilla in una location al fresco in riva al mare."
"Buongiorno cibo e servizio ottimo staff attento unico neo il costo più caro rispetto ad altri locali dello stesso livello in porto azzurro e dintorni ."
"Cibo ottimo e pesce fresco! Molto buone anche le pizze e per aperitivi in riva al mare. Servizio ottimo e staff molto attento"
"Un ottima esperienza che si conferma di giorno in giorno. Pesce sempre fresco e ben cucinato, ambiente familiare, informale e a pochi metri dalla storica spiaggia del Barbarossa. Personale competente , molto cortese ed accogliente. Al di là di qualche isterica considerazione del turista straniero di passaggio che “non capisce come possano esserci giudizi positivi sul posto”, e verosimilmente non capisce nemmeno come si griglia il pesce (abbiamo letto fra le recensioni più recenti una stroncatura sinceramente inspiegabile) il gradimento dei clienti è palese e visibile dando un occhiata ai tavoli, tanto che consigliamo di prenotare nelle giornate più affollate (feste e weekend). In sintesi: Provato molte volte e decisamente approvato. Consigliato da Matteo e Rossella."
"Ristorante fronte mare, intorno molta vegetazione, ambiente molto semplice nell' arredamento, personale gentile, i bagni purtroppo sono esterni al locale e se piove non è "simpatico" né semplice accedervi.. Cibo molto buono, dai salumi alle verdure, alla pizza, prezzi medio-alti.."
"usgezeichneter Abend! Als Vorspeise teilten wir uns die Muscheln , danach Nudeln und Risotto mit Meeresfrüchten – alles frisch, perfekt zubereitet, unglaublich lecker und sehr großzügige Portionen. Den Nachtisch mussten wir daher leider ausfallen lassen. Der Service war freundlich und schnell. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: absolut unschlagbar!"
