The menu focuses on locally sourced fish and vegetables, with grilled sea bream, fried snacks, and pasta receiving high praise for freshness and quality. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though some guests reported being ignored or experiencing slow pacing. Negative feedback centers on small portion sizes and perceived poor value for money, with a few describing the cuisine as mediocre. Despite isolated complaints about pricing, the majority of reviewers highlight the excellent food and welcoming environment, making it a solid choice for those seeking authentic local flavors in a historic setting.
