“ What a place! Don't judge a book by its cover, all the dishes are super fresh and very big; Italo is an amazing chef and this place definitely deserves a stop! I've had the freshest "frittura mista" of the last 5 years in here! And this "scoglio" still makes me drool... ”
“ A fabulous little restaurant! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was superb! I had a spaghetti carbonara to start with and it was a proper Italian carbonara made with egg! The Milanese pork cutlets was perfectly cooked and even the chips were nice! Next time I need to park my truck in this town. This will be the first restaurant I visit. ”
“ Siamo stati da Italo a pranzo, se come noi non cercate il piatto di masterchef, la sua cucina fa al caso vostro Pasta portata nella padella, 1 porzione basta per 2 persone carica di pesce e condimento. Ogni piatto provato era eccezionale frittura compresa. La foto commemorativa con lo chef (simpaticissimo) è d’obbligo ”
