Refined, seafood-led Mediterranean cooking with Italian cues in a quiet Old Town lane; excellent service and standout raw/fish dishes, but pricing and a charged welcome bite can irk.
Restaurant Summary
Down a narrow Old Town lane, the room feels warm and intimate with quietly confident hospitality. Guests describe servers who pace courses and help with wines, noting, "They checked how fast we wanted dishes and guided us well." The setting is calm and tucked-away, ideal for an unhurried seafood dinner. The cooking leans Mediterranean with Italian-influenced finesse: pristine tuna tartare, lively seabass ceviche, silky swordfish, and local specialties like Bourdeto and Bianco. Plates are refined rather than rustic, and the menu shows creative touches without theatrics. Most diners find the quality justifies the price, though a few cite seasoning lapses. Watch for the charged amuse-bouche noted on the menu; it can surprise those expecting a complimentary bite. For families, the menu skews seafood-forward and geared to adventurous eaters. There is no clear kids menu; simpler picks might be baked feta, plain pastas like tagliatelle, or grilled chicken. One review mentioned it was not kid-friendly and even lacked soft drinks, so plan accordingly if dining with picky palates.
