Really tasty proper Italian cousin for really great prices. Simple but really tasty dishes. When you come, you get some nibbles to eat before you order and before your meal comes, which is great. We usually had it a couple of years ago in almost every restaurant we went to, no is not that often. I would come again and I would definitely recommend it.

We had a wonderful pranzo here today. I can't figure out why there weren't more people here. The food was wonderful, the service good and efficient and the prices reasonable. The mixed bruschetta tray was yummy. The octopus salad was flavorful and tender. The fish was falling off the bone good and the prawns were great. Great location for singles, couples, larger groups and those on a budget.

It feels like a true family spot where locals love to eat - a few tables even seemed to know the staff personally. The food was exceptional yet wonderfully homey, and the prices were very reasonable. Service isn't fast, but that just adds to the charm - it feels like a grandma is cooking in the kitchen .

This is a "local" spot, and one that deserves attention. We were kindly greeted, no reservation, by a man on his first day of work. The server was kind, knowledgeable, and not afraid to ask the chef questions that we had on the plates. We ordered Carbonera and Seafood Pasta with the pasta a little softer. Tiramisu for dessert. Total bill was €26, and a fair price for the excellent quality, and tasty food. This is an awesome place, but slightly off the beaten path. Highly recommend on every level.
