"First impression of the restaurant was great. The waiter was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately, our positive experience changed very fast. Our antipasti had a piece of plastic wrapping in it which I found in the portion of the dish that had calamari and eggplant. Not too big of a deal though, these things happen and we moved on. My girlfriend informed the waiter that she was pregnant and couldn't eat shellfish or large fish such as tuna or swordfish and was recommended the couscous dish. I ordered mussels. Once the food arrived, we noticed that her dish was full of swordfish, clams and mussels... exactly what she couldn't eat. At this point we didn't want to make a fuss so she just gave me those pieces which she couldn't eat. A couple of bites in, she finds a piece of aluminum foil in the dish. Now she's getting angry. A few bites later, she pulls out yet ANOTHER piece of plastic wrapping. This was the straw that broke the camels back and we had to say something at this point. Our original waiter noticed the error and was visibly upset and immediately apologized but for some reason, another waiter felt he needed to say his part and tried to explain to my girlfriend that it wasn't plastic but rather a shell... from the calamari. Well, I might not live by the sea but I know for certain that squid doesn't shells that look like pieces of plastic wrapping. This other waiter basically started arguing with my girlfriend which was rubbing salt in the wound at that point. Fortunately, the first waiter (who turned out to be the owner/manager), comped our entire meal and apologized. This part was greatly appreciated. PS. The gin tonic was phenomenal!"

"Wow an incredible menu of seafood delights in a beautiful location near the beach with a stylish, no nonsense atmosphere. We came here early tonight from the couscous festival and within minutes there were queues to get in we were the only non Italians in the restaurant. The restaurant has a lovely outdoor terrace and the staff are very friendly and efficient. We wanted to try everything on the menu. Extremely fresh seafood just a stone’s throw from the beach, and very reasonably priced especially considering the high quality. We highly recommend the fritura mista of baby calamari and prawns as well as the grilled squid and the insalata verdasa with capers and olives. Some customers nearby had what looked like amazing seafood couscous and seafood risotto which gave us so much food envy that we felt like ordering all these dishes despite not having any more room for more food! We were especially impressed with how the owner, waiters and chef treated so kindly and patiently a table of rather surly patrons who seemed rather miserable generally and projecting their attitude onto what you could tell was very beautifully prepared fresh food. Without hesitation the owner and chef cheerfully brought them extra plates of fresh seafood to try. Desserts were also very tempting and we tried the San Vito speciality a tart somewhat like a cheesecake with pistachio biscuit base soaked in liquore with layers of pistachio cream, ricotta and dark chocolate teamed with a local grappa and excellent espresso all this for 67 euro for 2 people, excellent value especially considering the quality, generous portions and lovely location. Highly recommended all round!"
