It was a lovely night so we decided to sit outside. This turned out to be a smart decision because there were three local singers who were performing for the tables and they were really very very good. The tuna appetizer and the swordfish there was amazing. As were the pastas we tried. The only negative was the calamari appetizer which was fried and similar to what you'd get in a US chain restaurant. Otherwise everything including the wine recommend by the server was excellent.

From the starter of caponata, to the pasta filled with octopus and pasta filled with sardines followed with swordfish roses and tuna medallions all accompanied by a DOCG wine recommendation, no detail seemed overlooked. Unfortunately we had to rush out but I'm certain dessert is worth a try. The ambiance is as amiable as the staff!

Oh my goodness. This place was amazing…read more I'm not sure where to start, so let's start with the view. The pictures uploaded by others show the view from the restaurant, and it doesn't matter where you're seated--floor to ceiling glass windows give diners an unobstructed view of the shimmering Mediterranean sea. (I'll try to upload a photo as well.) I was there for lunch in August with a few friends (most of whom were locals). We ordered a number of seafood appetizers to share, including raw shrimp and other fish. Presentation was beautiful, and everything was fresh. For the main course, I had spaghetti with sea urchin. Simple, right? Yes, simple done right. The pasta was cooked al dente and smoothly mixed with the sea urchin. Every bite delivered a heady mix of perfectly cooked pasta flavored with the slight brininess from the sea urchin. I finished off my plate fast and looked hopefully at my friends' plates, hoping they weren't able to finish theirs so I could have more. Alas, they seemed to like the pasta just as much as I did as their plates were empty as well. A few others ordered a variety of cooked seafood, including swordfish. Their orders were presented on a heated tile of pink Himalyan salt, which I found fascinating. Yes, I'm easily impressed. :D I tried a bit of swordfish, and though I'm typically not a fan of this particular fish, it was amazing. We finished off our meal with some espressos (passed on dessert as we were all so full). Amazing lunch. The price was more than reasonable too, considering the breathtaking view, the warm and friendly service, and the quality and freshness of the food.

Come here to have lunch with the locals, and get a really, really, (really) good pizza. (If you're not in the mood, there's a lot of other options - we sat near plenty of pasta eaters if that's what you are in the mood for.) This is the definition of a quick lunch spot, the chairs, tables...super casual. Almost like a cafeteria, but maybe one slight notch above from an ambiance perspective. Not much AC, super hot, who cares. I got a gigantic, ice cold beer to mitigate the heat, and it was a perfect pairing to the pizza. Super simple - sauce, cheese, prosciutto. They even cut it in half for us since we were splitting it. Somehow those three ingredients came together so perfectly that the pizza was almost creamy. That pizza, a 66cl beer, and a huge water - super delicious, we walked out full, and it was only €16. Insanity.

Highly recommend this place for food and service.

The best thing to get here, in my honest opinion, is a kebab and you can get it anyway that you want. It is so very affordable too. My friends and I had a tradition of going here at least once a week for the best kebabs in town. The meat is traditional schwarma, shaved right off and onto a plate then put into a wrap. There's a choice of lamb or beef. You can then pick any additions from lettuce, tomato, onions, fried zucchini, among others. Don't forget to get a sauce topped on it too. So yummy.
