Didn't eat here intentionally. However, free foccacca is served with drinks and much appreciated. Its a great spot for local wine to watch the world go by next to the sea

Popular spot located close to the beginning of the shopping area of Via Fegina just past the parking lot. Fast friendly service (one member of the waitstaff walked by to visually check more than 10x). Tasty food (calamari was amazing). Bread was ok. Covered bench style seating right along the beach. Great views.

Good place, nice prices. The first time we've paid under 10 euro for breakfast in Italy. Two cappuccinos and a delicious custard filled donut for 5 euro! The staff did have a laugh at the customers ordering coffee with alternative milk etc. A bit unprofessional in my opinion but the coffee was decent, it was a nice price and they have a toilet.

So thankful for this cafe! Best black coffee I have had in a while - so good that I had to order a second one. You have to order at the counter and bring to your table outside at the marquee. We could leave our luggage on the side and enjoy our breakfast with the seaview or watching people hustling and hustling by. Pastries are also surprisingly good! Well run family business.

Great bar/restaurant for a good time right next to the water. We had Spaghetti and some Foccacie and it was very good. Our server Antonio was very nice and caretaking for our entire stay. I can definitely recommend it.

Wow, what can I say…everything we had there was amazing 10/10. Customer service is great and don’t forget a delicious dessert on the way out. I recommended the chocolate pear cake and tiramisu. Outside of the main town but worth the walk!

Good place for aperitivo. However, we couldn’t figure out when do they give out snacks to accompany the drinks, and when they don’t do it. We got lucky and we received a small tray of snacks but we saw that some clients didn’t. Drinks were good, the focaccia was a little dry, and the service could be generally better. 4/5 ⭐
