"We had an amazing evening here! The service is incredible, and our waiter very patiently answered all our questions, made recommendations, and generally made our night. The food was good and the prices were also decent, and the ambiance is wonderful- we had a table with a window overlooking the sea!
For appetizers, we ordered the seafood salad, which was tasty. For entrees, we got the seafood gnocchi (a fun take on spaghetti vongole), which was incredible, and the swordfish in tomato sauce, which was good (the fish itself not that amazing, but the sauce was great).
For dessert we had the panna cotta, which wasn't that great and drenched in a chocolate syrup. The table next to us got creme brulee, which came on fire!! Overall, super nice vibe and service."

The 5 Best Gluten-Free Spots in Porto Santo Stefano
Lungomare Navigatori, 26, 58019 Porto Santo Stefano GR, Italy. Excellent trattoria as I remembered it, over the years it has maintained its quality in its fish and traditional cuisine while also paying attention to those who unfortunately have become celiac like me. So my compliments go to Leonardo and his staff and I will return soon.
