And one of us was from a fishing village in Puglia so he has quite a critical eye. Portions were more than we could eat, everything fresh, pasta cooked and seasoned to perfection. The dishes are very simple with only few ingredients, which only shows the quality of the seafood. We ordered spaghetti with clams for kids, seafood spaghetti, spaghetti with baby cuttlefish and radicchio and grilled sardines with polenta. But the owner was accommodating enough and happy to amend kids dishes. The place has wooden picknick bench tables and food is served on a plastic plate with plastic cutlery. The place is very rustic, don't expect any fine dining with top notch service. After reading all the reviews we were a bit worried but decided to go, only if for the experience of the location. We have booked for a party of five, three adults and 2 kids for the first evening sitting. You're basically paying for a high end restaurant facade and none of the good stuff that usually come with it.
Felt pretentious, curated yet expected in the atmosphere and service and totally lacking from the food standpoint. 60 completely avoidable euros for two gnocchi, and one grigliata to share. We added a grigliata which was ok but nothing remarkable or surprising and served a bit cold.Ībsolutely no reason for me to come back.
Overall it was bland as if it was whipped together last minute vs something that had its time to simmer gently and become delicious. The sauce was made not with local seafood but with clearly imported options (local mussels are definitely smaller and tastier).
We ordered two seafood gnocchi and they felt like the ones you buy at big chain grocery stores: hard and tasteless. Unfortunately, despite looking curated and not as rustic as other (great) trattorias in the area, it lacks a point of view on their menu and dishes. Excellent location, friendly staff and decent food.
