We are from Boston, MA and my husband is in the fish business and we try many restaurants. We did not have reservations, but they made room for us. The wait staff was such a delight, even though we did not speak the language. Always a smile while serving. We spent a week at the Amalfi Coast, then came to Reggio. We hope to come again before we leave

In general Italian service isn't on par with what Americans perceive as "good service" (i.e. different norms) but the service here was very, very good (though admittedly we were pretty much alone since most locals eat lunch around 2pm and we were there around 12:30). Food was very good and as you can see by the photos, presentation was top notch.

We ordered two arancini and they were very good so we ordered another. For our main meal we ate a pizza al prosciutto but it was honestly nothing that special. The restaurant is cute and seems very local. The downside is that the restaurant is very small and so there's a wait to get in and besides the arancini I'm not sure the main menu warrants a half an hour wait. The panini's seemed very popular and would maybe be a better choice than the pizza.

Both were very good and very fresh. I ordered a veal steak which was good, but nothing special. We did have a liter of house wine which as a bargain at 5 euros we both had desserts which were ok. All and all a good meal at a fair price.

Arrived around 12:30 on a Thursday and we sat outside. Empty inside but filled up by the time we were done. Good mix of menu options from salad, pasta, pizza, main entrees including burgers. . We started with the Ruoto di Bufalo- a good mix of fried veggies, Arancini, fried cheese and dough. All delicious except the fried dough was a bit bland and that was the biggest portion. For main, Spaghetti alla Nerano with fried Zucchini and cheese was tasty and enjoyed. Based on recommendation, also ordered pizza fritta-a monstrous calzone that is fried and filled with tasty buffalo ricotta and pork cracklings-enough for two. A Naples dish and they did it right. We finished with a couple of Macchiatos which hit the spot. Service was attentive and friendly. They have been ranked top 50 artisanal pizzerias in the world for the last 5 years. Close to the port and definitely worth a visit.
