Che dire.. arriviamo abbastanza presto a pranzo e la proprietaria sta pulendo le cozze fresche di giornata.. uno scambio di battute e ci fa accomodare come se fossimo a casa nostra... La chef anche lei cordiale e amichevole ci offre subito da bere e personalizza il menu in base alla disponibilità del giorno 2 spaghetti cozze bottarga e carciofi trifolati. Sublime Prezzo nella norma per la zona, ma per questa qualità avrei pagato anche di più (in ristoranti mediocri ho speso uguale...) Veranda vista mare, seppur vicini al porto ha il suo perché col prato ben curato davanti

A true family kitchen. Dora was adorable! I strongly recommend the polpette (with pasta obviously).

The best pasta in all Italy!!! Spaguetti with cozze and botarga is fantastic!

The food was really good. It was we were having dinner at nonna’s house. The restaurant is placed at industrial zone but the food was soo good. Small menu but the dishes were delicious. Reservation mandatory

Dora ci ha accolto con tutta la sua simpatia, la sua pasta fresca fatto in casa con cozze e bottarga è un must che si deve ordinare (tutto il gusto della Sardegna in un piatto) per il pesce si deve prenotare sarà funzione della disponibilità fatto al forno con le patate. Polpette al sugo, Tiramisù Tutto fatto in casa.
