Reviews highlight fresh, traditional seafood dishes like sea bass and risotto, with a warm, home-like atmosphere. However, some guests criticize the value for money, citing high bills or small portions. Service is generally friendly but occasionally noted as inattentive. While many praise the food quality and welcoming vibe, others express disappointment regarding pricing and portion sizes. It suits those seeking authentic local cuisine in a cozy setting, though budget-conscious diners may find it less appealing.

Having gained experience in various restaurants throughout Europe, Tespi has now returned home to open this delightful small osteria in the historic centre, just a stone’s throw from the sea. His huge passion for fish is evident from the menu, where fish dishes feature in numerous regionally influenced recipes. The excellent wine cellar includes a good choice of sparkling wines.
