Fab restaurant, a step up from the beach bar serving pizzas. Very close to the beach and has a beautiful selection of seafood. It’s spendier than other places in the area but worth it if you’re in the mood for good wine and oysters and a gorge view!

Excellent place. Laconic menu delivers enough delicious options and the service is brisk, friendly and professional. The antipasti di mare were enjoyable as were prawns. Pasta was up to the high standard. Highly recommended.

You can’t go wrong with La Bitta, fish is fresh, chef is creative, service is excellent. And the location and breeze is amazing. The mix seafood platter appetizer is a nice start, along with a Linguine Vongole and grilled fish.

In this restaurant you feel like visiting friends. Pleasant service, the owner himself came to greet us. The food is absolutely fantastic. We had noodles, gnocchi and a shrimp and octopus salad, followed by several desserts. Everything was great, fresh, perfectly seasoned and all the flavors blended together. Just everything great.

A wonderful restaurant with excellent service and incredibly delicious food. We booked a table in honor of my husband's birthday and did not regret it. We were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth, tranquility, good service and delicious food. The waiter presented us with the dishes, made sure that the glasses were not empty and the bread did not run out. I am delighted I especially can't forget the taste of tuna tar tar - it was excellent!
