Questo ristorante ha cambiato gestione. Oggi è il 14 agosto 2025. Abbiamo ordinato un antipasto misto 15 euro (5 assaggi: insalata di mare freschissima buonissima, 3 pezzi abbondanti di salmone crudo (freschissimo) servito su letto di rucola grande, una polpetta di pesce servita con salsa di arancia, 5 acciughe marinate, tortino di melanzane servito su base di formaggio e basilico stile parmigiana. Poi abbiamo preso 2 primi: (22 euro) tonnarelli all'astice molto abbondanti, l'astice non solo fresco ma cucinato in modo semplice e a dir poco speciale. Pezzo forte il primo che ho preso io Ravioloni di burrata e gamberi 13 euro (1/2 kg di pasta mi hanno portato). I ravioloni e anche la pasta all'astice sono fatti in casa, i gamberi freschi e il piatto abbondante di gamberi sgusciati nella salsa come si vede dalle foto. Peccato non ho fatto la foto dall'antipasto. Il vino che abbiamo preso è il cacchione casa Divina Provvidenza (16 euro). Unica pecca il vino è arrivato non freddissimo e il cestello non aveva molto ghiaccio ma questo vino è buonissimo anche poco freddo. Ma dopo abbiamo chiesto altro ghiaccio e subito ce l'hanno portato. Siccome i primi sono stati abbondantissimi abbiamo n preso soltanto una frittura di soli moscardini ( 10euro) davvero molto croccante. (Quantità giusta). 1 amaro del capo 3.50 euro e un caffè 1.10 euro e 1 acqua frizzante (Marca Rioba grigia pasturo) 2,50 euro. Per ricapitolare: 1 Antipasto, 2 primi e 1 secondo con bottiglia di vino e acqua 75 cl 1 caffè e 1 amaro coperto e servizi totale 87,10 euro. L'ambiente è informale e marinaro essendo appunto in un posto di mare (meno di 100 mt dalla spiaggia). Non e romantico come posto ma lo chef merita davvero 5 stelle!!!!! Questa è la 2 volta che ci mangiamo! Torneremo!

It’s not always easy to find a place that’s actually ready to serve food at 6:00 PM—even if Google says they’re open. As a family with kids, we prefer to have dinner before 7:30, so timing matters. We arrived at this restaurant around 6 PM and were the only ones there. The waiter told us the kitchen usually opens at 7:30, but they were kind enough to start cooking for us earlier. That was a real treat, especially after two other places that claimed to be open were actually closed. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was perfectly cooked. We really enjoyed both the food and the service. Highly recommend!
