Gift Tips
- Reserve ahead if possible, since the dining room is small and seating can fill up quickly.
- Start with the beef carpaccio or burrata caprese for a strong first course.
- Try the pasta dishes, especially the shrimp scampi, bolognese, or lobster ravioli, which are popular choices.
- Ask about the daily specials, like the swordfish, short rib, or aubergine special, for something a little different.
- Save room for a dessert or a house drink such as the lava cake or Limoncello Blush.
- If seafood is the preference, look at the branzino, swordfish special, or linguine with seafood for a fresh option.
- Consider sitting on the deck or near the bar for a view of the marina and a more relaxed dining experience.
- Try the cream of crab soup if you want a signature local starter with plenty of crab flavor.
