A truly special experience at the Sakalleo restaurant!
We were welcomed by Giada, an impeccable hostess, a constant presence and attentive to every need, capable of pampering her guests in every way with truly rare care.
We chose a tasting of raw and cooked appetizers, a true journey through flavors and quality: from the tuna tartare garnished with capers and swordfish cubes, to the grilled octopus, the cuttlefish, squid, octopus, carrots, potatoes, and turmeric stew, to the mussels served with a delicious creamy tomato sauce, enriched with a few secret ingredients that make it truly special... and so much more! 🐙🦪🐟
Each dish was a pleasant discovery, prepared with quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The staff was simply impeccable: knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and extremely efficient.
A restaurant where you feel welcomed, pampered, and accompanied on a tasteful experience. Congratulations to Giada and all the staff! ❤️

A truly special experience. The first thing that strikes you is the location: not a typical restaurant, but a tastefully renovated period home. As you ascend the stairs, you're welcomed into several dining rooms, furnished with original furniture and objects from the 1950s and 1960s. I was told that the house belonged to the current owner's father, which lends it an authentic and charming atmosphere.
Special praise goes to Giada, the owner: elegant, courteous, and very professional. She stopped by our table several times to ensure everything was to our liking, making us feel truly welcomed.
We began with a seafood appetizer, enhanced by the freshest raw fish, served with great refinement on beautiful plates. Next, we enjoyed a choice of two first courses, both excellent. The white wine recommended to us was a real surprise: still, perfectly paired with the fish, and so good that we drank four glasses. The portions were so generous that we had to forgo the second course. At the end of the meal, they treated us to a classic lemon sorbet and, to finish, offered us a digestif.
The bill was €85 per person. It's not cheap, but considering the freshness of the fish, the quality of the cuisine, the attentive service, and the refined atmosphere, it's definitely worth the experience.
A restaurant I recommend to anyone looking for excellent seafood, an extraordinary setting, and unforgettable hospitality.
I'll be back.

We went on our son's recommendation.
Simply fantastic restaurant. Excellent raw ingredients. From cooked to raw.
The staff is incredibly kind. They pamper you.
The owner is kind and professional. Very, very nice.
We felt like special guests.
We had a tasting of appetizers and a first course shared between two, which in other places would be counted as two.
My husband doesn't eat cheese, so on the plate, which the traditional recipe calls for, the owner was kind enough to have it split in the kitchen. Not everyone counts it as one.
We discovered an exquisite sparkling white wine. I think we'll get some for ourselves.
The mussels, which are normally served with liquid, were here without, and we were amazed by their flavor; they were delicious without having to drown them in lemon.
The seared tuna was perfect.
The tuna sausage, a new one for us, and the cuttlefish meatball. All delicious.
The anchovy dish is missing from the photos.
Sorbet and almond pastry were offered.
Everything was perfect. She then suggested a swim in a nature reserve 5 km from the village.
It was a perfect day in every sense. Thank you Giada and thank you to the staff. A skilled chef who knew how to balance the flavors without spoiling anything. See you again.

What a gastronomic masterpiece!! So delicious!! Raw tuna and sea bass, and extremely fresh seafood of course with gamberi rossi (among others), followed by tuna, cozze, anchovies…
All this for a small price. TOP!

Characteristic seafood (but very unique) ristorante. Hidden gem of the city and literally Located upstairs. Chef’s picks are coming one by one until you’re full. Grilled Octopus, steamed mussels and raw crayfish are highly recommended. Pistachio dessert is also good. No coffee/tea after main dishes.
