Our Guestbook
“ The personal is really nice and also very quick. The food was great & the kids were able to play nearby and had a great time there ”
“ Fantastic food in a beautiful setting. Waiters were knowledgeable on our visit on 17th August. Highly recommended. ”
“ Lovely restaurant tucked away in the woods near the beach. Friendly staff and food was good, even if only a couple of vegan options. We had Gnocci which was lovely ”
“ Totò and Leo are amazing together with the wonderful ladies that serve at the café tables. Staff wise, there is no bar/restaurant equal to this. They run weekly funky gigs too. However food from the restaurant is not so great, stick to the mussels and you won't be disappointed but other dishes are much too pricey for average to low quality. I mainly recommend this place as a café/bar and hope they will implement an happy hour for the aperitive with a sensible music volume. ”
“ Nice after beach athmosphere and great restaurant with small kids (especially age 1-6). We enjoyed the BBQ, red wine and big salads and evyerything was very tasty. It's nice with kids, because there is a table-soccer and kids playground directly in the restaurant. Especially with small kids it's the best restaurant in town. While you take dinner the kids can play and if there is music even dance on the nice little dance floor. For families with small kids it's definitely a 5-star rating! For couples without kids maybe not the place for romantic dinner - except dancing. ”
“ We were there for a spontaneous lunch. The restaurant was moderately busy, and sitting outside was very pleasant thanks to the sturdy pavilions and large parasols. The service was attentive, professional and friendly, the menu was pleasantly straightforward and offered all the classic dishes. We shared a starter and had a main course each. The portion sizes were sufficient, the dishes were lovingly presented and, most importantly, everything was freshly prepared and served within a reasonable time. We would love to come back. ”
“ It is a really tranquile place tugged away in the pine trees but still close to the beach. We were there with 15 people. The food came quick and fresh. The two guys in the open kitchen definitely know what they are doing. The food quality was fantastic and the prices reasonable. I had the beef with Rucola... A dream (see Foto). The very friendly, well organised service rounded up our perfect experience. Thank you! ”
“ Super friendly and attentive staff. I ate the Vongle papata "super delicious and so fresh that I could have eaten another serving. It's and outdoor atmosphere restaurant at Eraclea Mare (beach). For dessert the Tira mi Su (pick me up) is undiscribely delicious, if you don't like coffee, try the one with Lemon Liquers. Fresh sea air under pine trees. ”
