“ Best Grigliata and Frittura in the region. Freshest fish and seafood! The only downside is that it takes a while to be served and because of its popularity you should reserve ahead or not go during peak dining hours. ”
“ The vibe of a seafood beach shack diner with awesome blues music + boogie playing on their speakers. Kickass. Went at 130pm and were lucky to grab a table (there were several, but it's October - I can imagine this place is packed during the summer). Unfortunately they had no sea urchin left (20 min order for €14 - what a steal!), But had some fresh oysters (€2/per), mussels (great red base), and grilled tuna steak. With drinks = €31. Walk to the bathroom and you'll get a glimpse of the kitchen - clean + beautiful art of cooking :) ”
“ Fantastic food and service. Perfect place for a tourist like me. FOOD: Simple, fresh, and tasteful. Had to try sea urchin and whata find. Initially ordered 20, then added 10 and then 10 more. They were fresh. Also ordered fried sea food perfect compliment to the sea urchin. And house wine went great with sea food. You won't be disappointed. PRICE: Cheap, I think. €0.50 per sea urchin and than €10 for each plate. Wine was cheaper than that. This place will not break your bank. LOCATION: Easy to find, plenty of parking nearby, and good view of the water. Overall, I would comeback for more. Safe and good place for any tourist to visit and have some sea urchins. ”

“ Perfect casual seafood restaurant in San Foca. Located right infront a beautiful beach and grotto. Everything was super fresh and very well priced. My only feedback is that most of the food is served in single serving plastic plates... ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got takeaway which was perfect for us. Really friendly staff who spoke English and helped us choose. Menu was simple and easy to read.
