First day of the new opening, a hidden gem! However be aware of wine prices. We ended up with a wine bottle of 30 euro's without expecting. The first bottle we drank on our first visit was 16, which was fine. Coming back for pizza we were suggested another bottle, we agreed stupidly without asking the price thinking it would be in the same range. Still they have amazing food. We went again but we stuck to our first bottle.

Great food and customer service but the reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because we waited an hour for our pizza which is very bad.

It was disappointing that it is not possible to dine on the rooftop terrace, enjoy the views and benefit from the sea breezes. However the food was very good, as was the service and we enjoyed an excellent bottle of white wine, Timo.

The crudo and the tuna carbonara were amazing. Pizzas and the rest could be improven. Not cheap considering location / quality!

Had a nice Sunday lunch. Staff was attentive and food was good overall. No house wine, so be prepared to pay overpriced prices for a bottle or glass. Pleasant overall experience.
