🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A timeless excellence: elegance, courtesy, and seafood on your plate Visiting this restaurant means trusting those who have made catering an art and a tradition. It's been around for years, and it shows: the management's experience shines through in every single detail, from the meticulous attention to service to the warm yet discreet welcome. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and capable of making you feel pampered from the first to the last moment.

The core of this restaurant's gastronomic experience lies in the perfect balance between the sourcing of the finest ingredients and the chef's creative drive. This isn't mere manipulation, but rather a conceptual evolution where technique is always at the service of pure flavor. In his starters, the chef demonstrates a marked aptitude for structural deconstruction and reconstitution. The raw ingredients—be they the vibrant freshness of local seafood or local vegetables—are enhanced through innovative pairings. In his first courses, the chef's creativity is expressed through his ability to reinterpret seafood classics through a contemporary lens. A gastronomic flagship where the cuisine's high technical prowess is perfectly matched by courteous, knowledgeable service, focused on total customer satisfaction. Recommended for the most discerning palates and those seeking the rigor of fine dining. In his second courses, the chef expresses his utmost intellectual maturity. The fish, selected according to rigorous sustainability and seasonality criteria, becomes a blank canvas. The chef's choice not to rely solely on top-quality commercial products, but to include and elevate lesser-known bluefish and local species, demonstrates a profound understanding of the sea. The "poor" raw materials receive the same elite treatment reserved for the most prestigious shellfish, revealing surprising flavor potential thanks to the absolute freshness of the wild-caught product. If executive technique and creativity are the drivers of the menu's development, the absolute excellence of the raw materials is its fundamental axiom. The entire culinary experience is structured to enhance the native identity of the seafood ingredient, which is never masked, but progressively elevated. The staff doesn't simply serve the dish, but decode the chef's vision for the guest. Using fluent, empathetic, and technically impeccable language, the staff explained the origins of the raw ingredients, the provenance of the catch, and the scientific rationale behind each creative pairing. This synergy transformed the dinner from mere hedonistic consumption to a true cultural and sensorial journey. Within the impeccable dining room dynamic, an honorable mention goes to waiter Francesco, whose work embodied the perfect synthesis of high-quality service and the most authentic attitude to hospitality. With absolute kindness and old-fashioned courtesy, Francesco presided over the table, constantly monitoring the appreciation level of the baked goods. Without ever showing the slightest sign of professional lapse or redundancy, he went out of his way to refill the table time and again, precisely intercepting the diners' desires before they were even expressed. This tireless service allowed us to fully appreciate a bread basket of rare craftsmanship, a true celebration of the local art of baking. Made with local flours and sourdough starter, the bread exhibited excellent structural characteristics, once again demonstrating the in-house production, accomplished with skillful craftsmanship and sophisticated technique. What more can I say? This gastronomic landmark is a must-visit: a high-profile culinary experience, designed to meet the expectations of the most discerning palates and the harshest critics with absolute analytical rigor.

Elegant but very familiar restaurant, fresh fish, excellent selection of wines, super pizza

Top, ideal for a safe and memorable dinner or lunch!

We had dinner during the week with a reservation made earlier in the day. We had two seafood appetizers (octopus salad and baby octopus Luciana-style) that were truly excellent. For our main course, we had baked John Dory. The fish was fresh, but two observations are worth making: when a guest orders fresh fish, it would be appropriate to bring the whole raw fish to the table, displaying it and also indicating its weight; this should be standard practice at a restaurant of this caliber. My second observation concerns the cooking: the fish was truly fresh, so I don't understand all that oil added at the beginning of cooking, which covered the flavor. It's a shame. Some might say it's a matter of taste, and perhaps that's true, but I'm of the opinion that the fresher the fish, the more it should be cooked and eaten plain.

Renovated since the last time I was there, but still everything was exceptional!!! Excellent
