Among the array of restaurants in town that we sampled, this particular one stood out as the finest. It's not solely the exceptional quality of the food or the reasonable prices that set it apart, but also the unparalleled service, prime location, attentive staff, and the overall ambiance that made our dinner truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, we were treated like royalty or esteemed guests. The level of attention we received and the dedicated service made it seem as if we had a personal waiter attending solely to us.

After 20 minutes of trying to get the attention of staff for a menu, we then had to wait another 20 minutes before they came to take our order.

The dishes were also bought out with a 10-minute gap between so we couldn't eat together. The scallops were not cleaned properly which meant that there was sand in the pasta making it inedible. Such a shame considering all the other restaurants we tried were much cheaper with better service and...

We enjoyed a fantastic meal of grilled sea bream, fried calamari, and everything hat was rich and flavorful. Everything was incredibly fresh, clearly sourced locally, and cooked with love and simplicity that let the ingredients shine.
The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. We were even offered a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch.
The atmosphere was peaceful and authentic, far from the overly touristy spots—just the sound of the waves and the aroma of fresh fish on the grill. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after the holiday ends.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the real taste of...
