BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! We were charged a LOT more than the menu stated. It is an extra 3€ per person to occupy a seat despite 2 of us not drinking alcohol.

Wonderful setting but there are only 3 servers so service is at a slower pace which we have learned to not only expect but enjoy in Italy and France. Don’t be in a rush. It is about the experience.
It meets rule #1 which is always eat at places on vacation where the customers are speaking the local language. It is a tourist area so you hear other languages but there have always been locals eating there each...
