THE BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!! This is an absolute must visit. Everything is homemade, made with love by the couple who run this place. The cod pasta is like nothing we’ve had before, it’s totally unreal - you have to try it! The prices are very fair, and the portions are big ( the pics are after we already ate as it was too good to wait). The prawns are fresh as they come. The aperol spritz is the best on the island, made in the proper Italian way! You will NOT be left disappointed - I promise!!!!

This place is adorable! We ordered tuna tartar, parmegano and some pasta with tomatoes and prawns - all was incredibly delicious. The portions are big and the price is absolutely affordable. But what I liked even more is a very friendly approach to guests: the host of the place works as a waitress, and she is incredibly involved in the process which completely won me over. Definitely recommend this place!!”

Exceptional place that totally stands out compared to the crowd of touristic places around. Dishes are carefully crafted, flavour is authentic and ingredients are clearly fresh. Atmosphere is relaxed, nothing pretentious.

Delicious authentic food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere in a beautifully decorated restaurant. Fair prices for the quality of food! Quantities are perfect! Owner is welcoming. We had a really lovely experience! Thank you! This place is a MUST visit! Tiramisu is delightful, not too sweet and not watery like a lot of them. The Tagliatelle in ink with salmon tartare on top was very delicate and rich in flavours. I love the added lemony and minty taste. The Parma ham for the starter was tasty and not too salty or chewy, just perfect. I never had burrata cheese, but we tried it tonight for the first time and we are not disappointed. Fresh, light and creamy inside! Perfect to go with their homemade bread!

Really nice restaurant in Los Cristianos, if you want to eat fish or some italian renewed dish that's the place to go. Very nice owner and the Atuna Carpaccio was just amazing.

As mentioned in other reviews, this place stands out from the crowd of turistic restaurants located just a little closer to the beach. The service was cordial, the food was full of flavour and texture, and the ambient was welcoming. I would definitely come back again.

We had a 3 course meal and shared it as 2 person. We went for 2 entrees, 1 first and 1 second course. Finished with dessert. Food was accompanied by a good Italian wine. The food was excellent and with best quality. The staff (owner couple) offer an admirable service in a place with true character. One can see that they put their love into what they do. I can only recommend coming here with either family, close friends or a date. You will truly have a perfect evening and can also have cocktail drinks.

Don’t look any further because you’ve just found your perfect dinner spot. Forget about all the touristy places with food pics on display. This is authentic Italian. Whether you choose from the regular menu or the daily offer, you can’t go wrong. Seafood was fresh and excellent. They make most of the pasta themselves. The prices are more than appropriate and service is very good, friendly and happy to explain.
