A fixed-price menu for a great Italian seafood experience. This is what this restaurant has to offer.
But here are two warnings: 1) to eat here, you absolutely must reserve 2) to best take advantage of it, you have to be as hungry as a bear!
The moment you sit down at your table, you will notice an ice bucket with some bottles of Vermentino wine (included in the price and replaced the moment they will be emptied). After a few moments, some rather zealous waiters will begin to cramp your table with loads of antipasto dishes: oysters, mussels, seafood salad, octopus & potato salad, baby octopus, salmon, zucchini au gratin. After a few minutes worth of a break -in which you will be able to reflect on the fact that you are already full- you will begin the first courses: risotto with scampi, spaghetti with clams, and some egg noodles with seafood in tomato sauce.
At this point, you would probably want to go to sleep or take a short 20km walk to digest, but you cannot resist the urge to take the challenge one notch further: a big platter of fried and grilled fish will be placed on your table, together with one-squared-meter of vegetable crudités (aka pinzimonio), surprisingly appreciated for its digestive properties.
Finally, you will be served lemon sorbet, grappa, mirto liquor and coffee. I am happy to have survived the evening so as to be able to tell you all about it on this blog!

BUONISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We enjoyed ourselves so much we came back a week later. No tourists; just families enjoying an economical For what you get) night out.
I had my birthday dinner here on June 18, recommended by locals. I have never eaten so much food in one meal before! It was all incredibly good and the wait staff were the hardest-working I’ve ever witnessed.
