We first went there for a glass of wine in the evening: we tried 4 different types and they were all good, the grillo was my favorite. We were offered some munchies (fish arancini and .. - don't remember now) and they were very good. So we decided to go back for a proper dinner, and we are very happy for that - with a couple of caveats: the menu has two tiers and... it is not printed anywhere. To get the "special" plates you probably just need to ask, and don't get taken away by the food: always ask how much things cost and the amount of food.
