Lovely local restaurant. Food was excellent. The only problem we had was being able to access the online menu which was frustrating. The experience was greatly enhanced when we received a written menu and could then ask our server for food and wine recommendations. It&rsquo;s a shame to only have the online menu as you lose the personal touch which makes the dining experience more pleasurable. Overall we very much enjoyed the food and ambience.

Outside tables next to the park fill quickly and a pretty quiet (away from walking street). Good range of wine/prices by bottle and food was flavorable

Our waiter, a Croat whose name I have forgotten, was absolutely wonderful. He moved us to an outside table in the shade and with a view of the harbor and hills when one became available. And he engaged us in friendly conversation. Beyond that, the food was excellent, particularly the mixed seafood risotto (requires two people to order). I&#39;d happily return again and again just to have the risotto and some sparkling water (although the suggested wine was very good and not overcharged). Inside is nice but could get a bit noisy when there is a group having lunch.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, in a very stylish setting, and with great food, even beyond the restaurant&#39;s specialty: the costate.

Apart from providing an intersting and inventive tasting menu, and a great choice wines, with interaction with staff was excellent.

very good food and service. We went on a family dinner and had a good time. However, it&#39;s possible to get also very good food and service in other restaurants in the area for a bit lower price.

Cozy, authentic spot. Owners are passionate and attentive, which made the service feel very personal. They checked in just enough without being overbearing. Good for a relaxed business lunch.

Loved the fresh fish and classic Neapolitan dishes here. Perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with friends in the old city.

Meat lover&#39;s dream. The sausages had a perfect snap, and the pork was juicy. Busy night but the staff kept things moving. Glad we found this spot away from the main drag.

A nice surprise, the pizza tonno was one of the best I&#39;ve had. Thin, crispy crust, and the tuna was just right. Staff was quick to get us a good table too.

Service was quick and friendly. Got our food in no time after ordering, which was nice for a busy Friday night. The place is pretty spacious too, good for groups.

Great spot in a castle. The view from the terrace is the real star here, just a stunning panorama. Food was decent, but honestly, you come for that scenery.

Stumbled in late, just as the lights were dimming. The warmth from the open kitchen was the first thing I felt. The pasta was simple, but the sauce had this slow-cooked depth. A quiet, comforting end to the night.
