Food was decent. We ordered the fish couscous and it was nice. I ordered the pasta with pesto trapanese and the pasta was raw. The shape was busiata, I was on my trip in Italy for 2 months, and I’ve eaten this shape lots of times. It had all the markings of being undercooked, it sticks to your teeth, it is white in the center. When I called the waiter, they had the audacity of saying “in Italy the pasta is not too cooked”, or “busiata can’t be too cooked”. What is this nonsense? Pasta shapes don’t contribute to the feeling of being undercooked. I know what all dente is. I make my own fresh pasta. I asked them to try it, but they refused, and said we can only get you spaghetti instead and not busiata. I said I would like busiata, but they were like no. They were so proud and arrogant and mumbling Italian to themselves in discontent I didn’t feel heard. I tried explaining that I know pasta and I make pasta myself, and that the center is white, indicating it is raw. But no, just arrogance from the staff. Moreover, portion sizes for the price are just ridiculous. Is the food tasty, yeah. Is it worth it? I probably won’t go there again.

Read moreGreat music, friendly staff (some speak English, some will appreciate you attempting to speak Italian!). The menu contains a solid selection of seafoods, due to its closeness to, well, the sea.
I had the octopus tentacles, served with hummus, which is excellent and that I recommend.
The menu is includes a set of first dishes (primi) and main courses (secondi), although if you're looking for a more affordable full meal you can always turn to the two pages of pizzas. The pizza della casa (pizza of the house) was excellent.
The staff was accommodating if our slightly peculiar order and greeted us with a smile, both on the way in and out. This place seems popular, so if you're planning on going there on a weeknight, make sure to call ahead to make a reservation, unless you don't mind waiting 15-25 minutes for a table to free up.
The choice of beverage is good as well, with several good white wine, red wine and beer...
Read moreVery pleasant place. Design is great, we were outside and were astonished about those purple chairs and nice pillows (we decided to sit on the sofas as my back hurts). The food is very good, my girlfriend had spaghetti with seafood and it was (she literally said so) one of the best in her life. I think it was the owner who served our food, very nice looking lady. She even spoke couple of Russian words, so my compliments for that also! Bottom line, if you want to have a good time over bottle of wine and great cuisine, I...
