After a morning walking, hunger striked. The Caffe Olimpia is just off via del corso. On the small terrace, locals were lunching. The staff directed us to a free table and brought the menu (translated in English), accompanied with a daily menu written on a blackboard (not translated)x We ordered a bruschetta,tonarelli all’amatriciana and tortellini alla boscaiola. The bruschetta came with two bruschette, with a generous serving of tomatoes, a very good example of letting the products shine. The tonarelli were cooked al dente and the sauce was just right, enough to coat but not overwhelming. The tortellini sauce was a balance mix of green peas and mushroom. The serving were generous and left satisfied. This caffe doesn’t pretend to be gastronomic, but it’s simple Italian food, something one could have for their lunch break. The 5 stars, doesn’t mean it is a fancy restaurant and your mind will be blown away by extraordinary flavour, nor will you leave with the waiter being your best mate. It reflects its purpose; a local lunch break with simple and hearty food, the service was efficient and nice. The waiter knows the locals and joked with them and suggested the tortellini as I was indecisive. For total disclosure, I did speak only Italian with him.

Stunning place about 150 meters from the beach with a romantic atmosphere. Excellent wines and spirits, fair prices. I gave four stars to the service only because the owner is a little dry in his manners, but still courteous, the colleague is more jovial and makes up for it.

Had a very fine breakfast here: delicious fresh orange juice, good sandwiches and pizzas, and cherry on top, fair price and friendly staff. Probably the best breakfast you can get in the tourist area.

A restaurant in the center is delicious, and the pizza is delicious. Our pizza is in Kuwait (puff pastry on the tayer), topped with cheese, and the seat is delicious.

Very good place for lunch! The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, the service is excellent and the prices are more affordable than other places in the area.
As for food, we highly recommend the pastas, especially the carbonara! We were 3 people and we shared 1 Italian antipasto combo that came with 2 bruschettas, 1 mozzarella with raw ham and salad. It was delicious but didn't have any striking flavor.
In the case of pasta, we ordered carbonara and tonarelli all’ amatriciana to share, both excellent and very abundant!

Excellent service and good food! The waiters even helped one of our group members to customize the order due to their dietary restrictions. Would recommend especially for breakfast.

Pasé por un desayuno rápido - el restaurante tiene un buen menú con algún precio fijo, es decir, continental, etc. La tortilla era genial y el personal era muy servicial.
