A couple in our group have special dietary needs and they happily adjusted ingredients for us as necessary. Definitely recommend if you are looking for good food, atmosphere and a fun time. ”
“ Located right next to the river Idro that flows into the sea. Small restaurant with a quiet terrace. Very friendly service with freshly prepared and original dishes. The Bruschette di mare as a starter is recommended, with a delicious pallet of flavors and texture. Tagliata di manzo argentino is very fine meat, perfectly cooked, finished with fresh vegetables. The Polpo in pignata was surprisingly tasty and very finely seasoned. The tiramisu is freshly made, the lemon tart missed a bit of the lemon flavor. ”
