"This restaurant is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Good size portions of local produce. The caprese salad was delicious and the antipasti to share was an absolute feast. The prawns were huge and fresh."

"My wife and I ate here whilst on holiday and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back."

"We tried to eat today...and we are disappointed for many reasons that I going to describe:
1. We didn't know that you have to booked. (Probably our fault, for don't have enough information about the place). Anyway, after a while waiting for a table; they offered us a tiny table in the middle of 2 gigantic ones... literally was so tight.
I could understand if the place was crowded, but was almost empty.
2. They just were brought us a sparkling water bottle and that was all. We waited more than 20 minutes that someone take us the order and nobody stoped to do it, the waitresses just looking us and they decided ignored us!!!
3. While we were waiting for someone get our order, arrived 3 families... surprising the ycould order before us, again...we arrived first.
I don't recommend this place at all, when you're a foreign tourist."
