Worth going by foot from Albergo hotel! What a lovely atmosphere, great service and hospitality! Young gentlemen was so professional and experienced, the wine from Lazio region was spectacular, and the simple yet ultimately fresh sea food was pure joy to our mouths. Local people started gathering around 9 PM, and terrace was so alive! Pure dolce vita. Grazie mille and many long years of success!

My favorite place locally to get spaghetti alle vongole. Calamari is also delicious. Always a friendly staff and nice outdoor patio

Sunday lunch was a great experience. Professional services, excellent selection of sea food including fresh catch of the day. Parking spaces outside the restaurant. Would recommend and go again.
