I recently visited this restaurant and had an amazing experience. The oysters I ordered were incredibly fresh and delicious, truly a treat that made me feel like I was by the coast. My favorite dish was definitely the Zuppa di Mare, a perfectly seasoned seafood broth packed with flavor. The service was also outstanding; my waiter, César, was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back!

Very good We all had a lovely time . Plenty of tea w honey. I even saved the small honey jars. They were so cute. I will recycle them and use them again. I couldn’t seem to think they would go in the trash. We all ordered from menu. You could get the buffet but choose to order. I had the veggie quiche. Delicious. Everyone one else was happy at our table. Nice relaxing atmosphere. ❤️❤️💜💜Happy New year All
