We started with the beef tartar which was flavorful, but every other bite had gristle. I got the tagliatelle with prawn and the sauce was fishy, which I could not understand at all because the prawns themselves tasted fine. My son got the ravioli, which was just ok. Finally, we ordered the hot chocolate cake (think mini lava cake) - which was good but very small. Maybe we ordered all the wrong things. The service was good. The inside of the restaurant was pleasant.

The restaurant is cozy; it appears to have been a modest house; not a villa. The interior is modern, the seating capacity is limited. But the service is attentive and knowledgeable, and the food is delicious. We had a mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad for our first coise, then risotto, fisherman's soup, and the local wine. The servings are European sized, but was plenty for lunch. The bill averaged $30 each. See the pictures.
