Very mixed feelings and here is why.
Great place, great service, amazing presentation and food also was NOT bad, but not great either.
Allow me to explain. Starters were perfection, already fell in love. Then we come to pasta and you can feel it's all there, nothing bad, great produce used but there is no balance. Too salty, too peppery seafood pasta, too much tomato sauce and dozens of olives in fish pasta that the main star of the dish (the fish) totally disappear. Left you thinking, if it was not a tomato sauce but whole cherry tomatos, maybe i would have tasted fish...
A very strange experience. We have had bad food many times and this was not the case here, but it wasn't great meal at all. Did not stay for desert.
Apologies to write this, but the single oddest not bad experience in a long while. I would love to score higher but its not there.

Fine dining using local products, with very friendly service and a Michelin-starred presentation. Of course, you must try the "Tartuffo Nero" – invented in Pizzo.

…che dire… ECCELLENTE!!! Prodotti freschissimi e di qualità, ricette della tradizione(spaghetti con le alici come una volta) e con ispirazioni più moderne(seppie su crema di piselli e tonno con cipolla divini). Il ristorante è incantevole dentro (ricavato da un antico deposito con una cupola di mattoni particolarissima) e fuori(sul mare), servizio con i giusti tempi, personale attento e gentile, proprietario sorridente e disponibile. Ottima cantina.
DA PROVARE E DA TORNARCI!!!

I absolutely recommend a visit to this restaurant in Marina di Pizzo. This is the second time I've eaten here. On the first one I was inside and on this last occasion I was outside. There were two of us and we ate spaghetti with anchovies, grilled calamari on pea cream and Mediterranean swordfish. Very good dishes. I found a high level of preparation and excellent raw materials. The portions were correct, almost abundant. The accompanying bread was also very good. The service, then, was quick and accurate, never intrusive. Fair prices and adequate for the quality of the menu. A note of merit also goes to the background music, always at a level that does not disturb the conversation. Parking, in the April/May period, not difficult.

Nice restaurant located on the seafront in Pizzo. The staff is friendly but the service is slow. I ordered the lobster linguine but they served me a simple pasta with sauce with the shell next to it, costing €25, the dish must be ordered by at least two people. The appetizer, fried and grilled dishes were good. The outdoor space is accessible to disabled people. The inside is a little dark.

Top restaurant with super fresh fish, best fish we have ever eaten. You cannot visit Calabria without enjoying the cucina da pesce here in Pizzo! 👌👌👌

Greeted with a smile by the owner and guided to the table by the waiters, we discovered a very pleasant reality on the Pizzo seafront. In addition to the view which is commendable in itself, the internal part of the restaurant is also well looked after. The service, contrary to other comments read, was rather quick, despite many tables being occupied and the dishes served truly excellent both in terms of combinations and quality. Compliments

Locale e cena perfetti ! Miglior cena di pesce della nostra settimana in Calabria , il locale ha una volta spettacolare in "bicchieri" di terracotta, unica mai vista.
Abbiamo provato l'antipasto di pesce in 6 varianti e i secondi di Tonno alle cipolle e aranci e in granella di pistacchi. Tutto buono e alternativo. Personale discreto e preparato. Dolci e vino nella media. Da consigliare.
