TOP experience! The fish and seafood is always fresh and plenty to choose from, the wine list was IMPRRSSIVE ! The staff were very well educated and true professionals. Cozy atmosphere. The food was AMAZING, you can tell they really put an effort in the diahes. I recommend 10/10 . Great job to the front of house, back of house, and owners! Chapeau!
Randomly ended up in this restaurant for lunch. Great atmosphere with a nice place. Its like eating in a boat without the waves. Tried the polvo and seafood pasta. Both were amazing and the bread is homemade on the first floor. Highly recommend this place for lunch and probably dinner.
This place is super popular and gets a lot of praise, so you walk in with big expectations. Their thing is raw fish and seafood, really fresh and well-displayed. But if you’re craving some easy, feel-good comfort food, this probably isn’t the spot for you. Better to try somewhere else for that. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but honestly, I think they’re fair for what you get. The pasta section on the menu only has three choices, but the staff will usually suggest a few more, depending on the fresh seafood they’ve got that day. I went with a langoustine pasta dish, and while the flavors were nice and the sauce unctuous, it was way too al dente for me, like the chef was aiming for that perfect “just right” bite and stopped cooking a bit too soon. One last thing: make a reservation! This place fills up fast.
Beautifully located in a charming villa with an incredible view. The service is warm and attentive. The linguine was excellent - truly a highlight. The bruschetta, however, was a bit underwhelming.
If you love seafood, this is your place to go overlocking the sea just before you reach the port. Plus the interior concept is very stylish and modern. The waiter who served us was very nice, polite and recommended outstanding fish. Highly recommend a dinner here!
