From the tapas, appetizers and main course everything was delicious. We ordered some anchovies tapas, first time I tried them and they were spectacular. And what to say about the wine, we chose one on the recommendation of the waiter and it did not disappoint!

Made a reservation for six, the banquet option provided was amazing with a wide variety of dishes. Some people in the party were vegetarian and Pellegrino accommodated that professionally. A overall great experience.

The venue was lovely, close to the harbour and a terrace table. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful and gave us a good introduction to the menu and options. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a fish meal. Prices were affordable and this great value overall.
