Its quite tricky to find this restaurant but well worth it once you do, for the food alone. You have to go down the street past the Bazaar and its on your left hand side. The decor isn't the best and the atmost (at lunch time) was a bit odd but the food was very, very good and the owner... More

I'm always skeptic toward Italian food abroad but I have to say this was an excellent choice. The place is located toward the end of Grand Baie right opposite to the beach. It has only outside dining and a few tables so reservation is mandatory, since it's always full (we went in low season and while every other restaurant in... More

We are priviliged as we have the possibility to visit the Restaurant from to time, which always has been a pleasure. The live presentation of the menu on the blackboard is very charming and you may get the feeling that you are in Italy. The Restaurant is a bit narrow and it is best to reserve a table a couple...

We sat outside on a very wet evening in Grand Baie. The food was as authentic and delicious as any I have had in Italy. Excellent service and good value. Highly recommended.

We went on TA advice. This place is on the main road near central Grand Baie. A bit scruffy from the outside, but once inside it is quaint and atmospheric. Serving the freshest of ingredients, daily specials are excellent. Home made pasta and great pizzas. Using fine itlain ingredients and Italian wines (though you can get New World if you... More

We first reviewed this restaurant two years ago on our last visit to Grand Baie and we are delighted to say that it is as wonderful today as it was then. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food they are serving. The owners are genuine and brilliant at what they do. Our only complaint is WHY DO THEY... More

We enjoyed a few meals here, it looks like nothing special from the road but its worth venturing in and discovering all their lovely fare. We enjoyed their bruschetta, homemade pasta with truffles, their pizza.....a divine salad with rocket, thin slithers of fresh pear, pine nuts and a yummy cheese, excellent on all accounts.
