Fantastic place with seafood I’ve been there few times, and every visit is unforgettable! Choice of fresh fish and seafood - breathtaking! There could cook all you choose in different ways: oven, grill, fried and etc. Also they owe the largest wine card I’ve ever seen! Highly recommended, despite of high prices, this is a place with cost 70-100 euro+ per person

Finally had a chance to eat here with their Chef owner Massimo Riccioli at helm! The oysters, sushi, seafood are hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. It has a traditional look but a super fun vibe and you can count on the chef table hopping to explain the process and have a toast with you. If your looking for an iOS ale place but want to feel free to have fun... this is the spot.... and the food... delectable.

Restaurant was surprisingly and pleasantly empty at 9.30pm on a Tuesday. I was given some complimentary snacks, which were great, before I had the Gamberi Rosa ceviche to start, and the spicy spaghetti with baby squid and zucchini blossoms. Everything was lovely! Seafood also tasted very fresh. To pair with the mean I had a nice glass of white wine recommended by the handsome waiter. Service was attentive (but not sure if only because it was very empty) and I had an overall lovely solo dining experience. Would return and recommend!

The oysters, the seabass carpaccio, de focaccia and the wine were delicious! Good service! We ate outdoors and I believe they could improve a little bit the terrace. Still good food and entrees

We were enjoying a few days in Rome before making our way to Paris for the Olympics. We were reading the menu out front when the chef opened the doors and invited us in. Our meal was probably the best culinary experience we had in Europe.
