First class food and service. If you are fussy about quality and choice but don’t want to pay stupid ‘tourist’ prices for the pleasure, this is the place for you. An excellent environment in one of the smaller old town squares. The staff are very professional and friendly, the food is superb. Don’t pass the opportunity up.

Wonderful and cozy family restaurant with great service. We felt very welcome. I ordered a Ciao Ciao plate to share with my son. Ohh man...that was a lot of meat. Shrimps and spaghetti were also very nice. Good food for a good price.
