“ Excellent family run Italian restaurant! Really enjoyed the simple but well done meals, excellent ingredients, lots of flavour. Pizza, pasta, some salades and other dishes with a seafood tendency. Great value for money! ”
“ Excellent Italian food . We had Insalata Mista, both Pizza for main dish and panna cotta for desert. All just wonderful. Staff was very nice and helpful and did show a lot of patients. They even surprised us with a desert desert and limoncello for free. On top pricing was outstanding. To be honest you can charge a little more for so much excellence. Keep doing what you are doing! ”

“ Excellent experience. Great place, great food You feel at home once you enter the restaurant. You Must Try Paella Valencia and the chef will personally serve it on your table and you will not regret as it tastes so good Their pizza are amazingly delicious too. Reserve ahead of time and give them a heads up if you want to have a Paella for your dinner. ”
“ Amazing local restaurant, feel like home, with super tasty dishes, with authentic, local people, super friendly serving. Those places that make you feel yoh are at your parents home :) One of the highlights, the owner's paella, never thought I am going to come to Italy to eat a Paella so incredibly delicious! In 1 week, we ate 3 times here, and wished to eat more ”
“ Excellent quaint little family-owned restaurant in a small village. Unfortunately they are very understaffed and very busy. We waited probably 1.5 hours for our anti-pasti and another hour for the pizza. We got the pizza for free because of the wait - which we declined - but we saw multiple guests get up and leave. It’s all the more a shame because the food is incredible and an amazing value for money. Maybe this was a one-off occasion, but with some help in service this could be a diamond in the area. ”
“ Went there twice whilst on vacation. First time we had pizza. It's impossible to get a poor pizza in Italy so we enjoyed it. The second visit, our waiter seemed to speak better English so we asked him for a recommendation. We had that night, one of the best restaurant meals that we have ever had. Don't be boring and have a pizza just because you're in Italy. Explore the menu. All the other meals we saw served looked great too. Go there. Enjoy ”
