Typical Italian restaurant in the city centre, medium-sized, with a few small tables outside. The staff are friendly and the service is good.

Unfortunately, the same cannot really be said about the food. We started with smoked salmon and fennel, but it felt like supermarket-style salmon placed over a few slices of fennel, with very little effort or character. The baked fish was acceptable, but not particularly memorable.

The stuffed mussels were the weakest dish of the evening: completely tasteless and quite disappointing. The only thing that partly saved the meal was a decent panna cotta.

On the positive side, the selection of local wines is extensive. Overall, however, the food was underwhelming.

Nice atmosphere and good food, a bit overpriced.
We were seated inside friendly as there were no seats available outside, so we would recommend a reservation before, but the inside was beautiful as well!
The staff were great and the food came quickly even though the restaurant was almost full!
I liked my pasta with mussels, and I definitely loved their choice of plates :) it could be just a bit more flavourful for my taste.
The fried fish was great, and the sea bass was cooked perfectly; I just think 22€ for that portion size was too much.

Ate here with my family. Antipasti and one of our dishes came out in 20 minutes or so, while my father and I waited over an hour for our mains to come. By the time our mains came out, everyone else at the table had finished eating and had their empty plates cleared. Our seafood salad was good, and every dish besides my main was excellent (rabbit and sliced steak). The deep fried fish, prawns and calamari I ordered, which I mistakenly thought would be pan-fried fish with prawns and calamari, was shockingly bland and flavorless compared to the other dishes on the table. They were seemingly unseasoned besides the breading, which was also bland. Given the wait for our food, it was the most disappointing meal I've ever had in a restaurant. If you eat here, DO NOT order the fried fish unless you enjoy eating drywall.

THERE IS NO VEGAN FOOD HERE! Someone said in another review that there was, there isn’t. Don’t go here with the expectation of many options for those who follow this diet. The chef was kind enough to make me a salad without the salmon. That being said, the food was quite nice. My wife and I enjoyed our meal. The lettuce was crisp, and she loved her pasta. All the pastas are handmade and looked incredible, and I would have loved to try a vegan one…

Very nice atmosphere and good food
We would recommend a reservation before,
