After we left the restaurant we walked by many other restaurants on that street and none of them were as crowded as the Tarumbo. If you're in the neighborhood you should definitely check it out.

Our hotel was near this fishing town, and this restaurant caught our eye through Yelp and…read moreTripAdvisor. Called to make reservations and even though they open for dinner at 7, I was told to come at 7:30. We arrived a little earlier and they let us sit and we got to enjoy the nice view, though the tables closest to the windows were reserved (which the folks didn't show up til past 9 PM!). Our waiter was so friendly and nice, and we got to order a variety of food. Had the oysters, grilled veggie platter, green salad, and octopus salad (did not see it on the menu but waiter brought this out for us). Even the bread basket was tasty, best we had on the whole week long trip! Kind of funny as we saw lots of their staff smoking in the kitchen.... Knowing it was a seafood known restaurant, I decided to order the shrimp scampi though my heart really wanted the bucatini with tomato sauce and pancetta. When it came out, I was really skeptical. First off, way too much ginger and took that all off. The shrimp were nicely cut, easy to take out. The pasta was in this weird ginger, lemon and butter sauce....and the noodles were perfectly al dente....and I didn't realize...in my 8 days, it was the first time I killed the entire pasta. Going to have to try this weird concoction at home sometime. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes, but I would say their dessert you can pass...I love panna cotta and though it wasn't on the menu...we ordered one. It had a chocolate licorice topping.......and I did not care for it at all! When we got our bill, it was all wrong. They added another table's tab to ours! Had to get that fixed and the waiter was super apologetic. Always check your bill!

Patronized by locals, thus very little English, but Ristorante Miranda does have an English menu. My daughter LOVED her Crab Pasta. I personally found this entree to be bland and had to squeeze a ton of lemon slices to add flavor. When I ordered mussels, I received a champagne bucket's worth of delicious mussels for $10 Euros. We tried but couldn't finish, since it was unexpectedly large. The seafood salad was also extremely large with tons of fresh seafood for $10 Euros. The waiter was also funny; While I was cracking the crab from my daughter's entree, he noticed how messy I was and grabbed 3 large napkins and 5 wet wipe packets for me...we all had a great laugh while pantomiming (due to our lack of Italian fluency and his lack of English fluency).

She is not overly friendly like you would see in an American establishment. Here they don't give a fake impression of friendliness. To be fair though she is a little unemotional, but not terrible. She definitely warms up when you show that you respect the Italian way. That leads me to the complainer who tried to return food and exchange it for something else. That is so obnoxiously American. The Italians believe that they are the e Peet's on Italian food ( which they are) and when you try to exchange something they see the problem with you, they do not feel that they should eat the cost of your mistake, so rightly so, in this culture, they were not happy. You should be thrilled that they went along with your insulting request. I showed up here 30 minutes after they opened and there was no issue, in fact there were already people in the restaurant when I got here. As for the food. I ordered my favorite wine which only came by the bottle, so when I asked if I could take it back to my room, she actually cracked a smile. I had Calamari it was fresh and was delicious. She didn't like me not ordering all of my food at once so at some point she took the menu thinking I was done after the calamari. When I pulled out the yelp pictures and told her what I wanted she explained that the picture had tomatoes but traditionally this dish came with a white sauce. I chose the traditional. For dessert I had ricotta and pears. My meal was delicious and my service was pretty good. I think the key is to make an effort to say something in Italian.
