Amazing food, staff and vibe. We had the best dinner surrounded by locals. We had mussels, shrimps, and octopus pasta. Great flavors!! This place deserves to keep thriving… and really really really deserves the 5 stars.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was perfectly balanced, yet you come here for the fresh seafood. We started with the fried calamari y tempura shrimp which is to die for. For the main, the calamarata al ragù di polpo is heaven. The pasta is perfectly al dente and the octopus is fresh from the day. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, and very charismatic. This is not just a meal; it’s an experience that I cannot wait to have again. This is a must try!
