We’re a couple doing our Italy trip for the first time. Initially avoided due to low rating. However we were recommended by our boat tour guide and gave it a chance. Arrived at 7pm on a Tuesday night, so it was less crowded. Fried Anchovies was the best fried seafood we’ve had on this Italy trip The rabbit was also interesting and great to try Pasta is just generally great all over Italy. The lemoncello suggested by the owner was also delicious.

Absolutely delicious, from the wine to the dessert. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. We stopped here on a whim because we didn’t look up where to eat in Riomaggiore and we were incredibly happy. The oysters were the freshest oysters I’ve ever had. The house white wine was perfect. Very impressed.

We noticed this restaurant on our first night but it was always super busy. We made a point to try it tonight and wow, so delicious! Was one of my favourites so far in Riomaggorie. The pasta was fresh and the flavours were memorable. We tried a few different dishes and ordered a bottle of wine. I would go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic pasta!
