Great food, the girl amazing 👏 the Chef Great really gentleman best!!!
I came today with some friends. We let the chef recommend the menu, It was an incredible menu to share. A pasta dish made with fresh fish, shrimps, and mussels, very tasty, we then had grilled cuttlefish and very fresh fried fish.
Pizza was decent, and the prices were fair. But the staff was rude and a bit slow. Update: I'm upping my review to 4 stars, because I was there once again, and the staff was actually nice to us.
