The calamari was hot and crispy, fresh oil makes a difference.

Came back three times this trip, and the food was just as good each time. The service is fast, which is great when you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to wait around.

Solid fried seafood. Pasta fresh, not too salty like others around here. Good for a quick lunch. Service was fine.

Been coming here for years, and those croissants never disappoint. The pistachio filling is my go-to, always fresh and flaky. Just the right thing with my morning coffee.

Came in on a whim. The fritto misto was light and crispy, and the creme brulee had that perfect crack. Service was friendly and quick. Prices felt fair for what you get. Solid spot.

The foccacine here is fantastic. Really fresh, nice chew to the dough. Had it with a glass of their house red, which was a solid pairing for the price. Just a simple, satisfying lunch stop.

The &euro;10 lunch menu is a steal. Primi, secondi, and a drink. The portions are huge, honestly. I could barely finish my pasta.

The rock and blues tunes here are spot on. Walls covered in music posters, feels like a proper dive bar. Had a couple beers, just the right vibe for a chill evening.

Catalan lobster was the star. Fresh, perfectly cooked. A bit of a wait for the food, but it came out hot. Solid quick bite if you&#39;re in the area and not in a huge rush.

A decent spot with a pretty varied menu. The pan-cooked pizza with the thicker crust was a nice change.

The charcuterie board was lovely, but the homemade pasta really stood out. Fresh, simple, and just the right texture. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

The fried anchovies and zucchini pie with prawns were both done very well. Service was professional.

Pesto pasta with green beans and potatoes. That was new for me. Solid Ligurian food. Flavorful combo.

Piera is so warm. The cooking tips from the staff were helpful, especially about choosing the freshest ingredients.

Quick lunch spot. The staff was really friendly and efficient. Got my order in and out fast. Perfect for a quick bite between meetings.

Loved the calm vibe here! The staff was so sweet and patient even when my Italian was a bit shaky 😅. Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a long lunch.

Grilled fish was the star. Skin crisp, flesh flaky and moist. Paired it with a glass of their house white, which cut through the richness nicely. That&#39;s all I really go for.

The portions are huge, you definitely won&#39;t leave hungry. Good value.

Plastic tables, sand on the floor. Felt like a beach shack. The grilled fish was simple, tasted fresh. Good for a casual lunch by the water.

Loved the fresh pesto here! You can really taste the basil and the olive oil is so vibrant. The branzino was incredibly tender, cooked just right. The menu is small, which I appreciate&mdash;it feels like they focus on the ingredients. A nice spot for a simple, quality meal.

Service was quick and friendly. They helped me pick a flavor fast. Got my order in under 5 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch break.

The focaccia was so soft, almost like a cloud. I tried the sourdough and whole wheat. The flavor was just right, not too heavy. Really enjoyed it.

Been coming here for years, and the veranda never gets old. That sea view with a light breeze while you eat... it&rsquo;s the main reason I keep coming back. The menu&#39;s small, but everything feels fresh and homemade. Just a solid, consistent spot.

Been coming here for years. That view over the marina never gets old. It&#39;s the same calming, refreshing scene every time I sit down. That consistency is what keeps me coming back.

The staff was so friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening very relaxed. The food was excellent, with a good variety of options. Everything was spotlessly clean, too. A very comfortable place to dine.

The complimentary platter with our cocktails was a delightful surprise. The charcuterie selection paired beautifully with my Negroni, a thoughtful touch that elevated the casual drink. A bit more bread would have been nice, but the flavors were spot-on.

The salmon linguine with pistachio pesto was the star for me. Really fresh salmon, and that pesto was something new. Tiramisu was classic, just right.
