The food was as wonderful as it's location which was right on top of the Adriatic Sea. The fish tasted as if they were in the water not an hour before. The calamari, while prepared in an odd way, were as delicious as the ones my Abruzzese Grandmother made.

A family atmosphere overlooking the Adriatic. Here, time has reminiscent of the 1970s, with furnishings and cuisine... Family-run, with a wife in the kitchen and a husband in the dining room. Friendliness, deliciousness, and authenticity are guaranteed. The scent of white napkins reminds me of lunch...
