10/06/2026: I dined at this restaurant. My compliments to the owner, the staff, and the chef for their very elaborate, typical Cilento dishes. I ate, as recommended, three appetizers: one with calamari, shrimp, and cuttlefish, one with escarole and potatoes, and one with Cilento-style cod. Then came a risotto with local red shrimp and the catch of the day. Finally, a generous serving of grilled lucerne fish, very delicious. I will certainly return for another dinner, as I am a tourist in the area these days. The setting, directly on the sea, is also excellent, very romantic at sunset.

08/06/2026: A well-maintained, organized, and certainly unique place in Ascea. The staff is competent, professional, and makes you feel immediately at ease. Special thanks go to the lady in the dining room, who was extremely kind, attentive, and always available throughout the day. The beach is very clean and well-maintained, and you can sense a certain select clientele, which contributes to a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. We also had lunch there, and the quality of the food was truly excellent: carefully prepared dishes, excellent ingredients, and everything tasted delicious. For this very reason, our expectations were high, and while the quality partially justifies the price, I also find the prices quite high. One small point, however, concerns the dishes sold by the pound: it would be appreciated if, when ordering, customers were asked approximately how much they would like, for both meat and fish, to allow for a more informed choice. Although I really appreciated the structure, I didn't fully grasp the difference between a lido and a beach club: the services are excellent, but I didn't find any elements so distinctive as to perceive a real leap in category compared to a well-organized lido.
