it does not look so good from the outside, be warned. It is part of the hotel Helios, an old establishment wonderfully located on the beach. The staff (of one...) was very nice, and helpful. The menu was not big, and I would prefer it that way: better to concentrate on a few but good dishes. We decided on the... More

Mediocre meal. The fritto misto was particularly bad and we spent our stay trying to get someone's attention to order wine, to order dinner and then to ask for the check. The best part of the night was finding fresh Ikea stickers on the bottom of our wine glasses -- turns out they hadn't been washed yet.

This restaurant coped cheerfully and well with our party of 26 on a md October Saturday.. .There is some seating outside, but most was on a covered balcony with good views across the bay.. We had choosen local dishes, mainly fish. Situated on a narrow busy road, with no obvious scope for parking.

What delicious orata with oven roasted potatoes! Waited 45 minutes for the dish to be prepared, but worth every minute. The insalata caprese was good, especially the mozzarella which was quite tender. Other tables were having numerous dishes of antipasto- salumi, mussels- pasta dishes. Everyone seemed to be having a great meal. The restaurant is with Hotel Metropole- the hotel... More

We had some of the best food on our entire 17-day long Italy trip at this restaurant. Everything tasted much better than the average Italian restaurant. We only tried seafood, and came back the next evening for more... I would definitely recomment eating here.
