They gave us a menu with only sea food but there was another one with pasta which we didn’t receive. The carbonara was good, but a very small dish. The scampi pasta had only 2 scampi and one bite meat, not recommend. And the pasta was not boiled enough, it was hard to eat it

By far one of the best meals I have had in Italy (2x). If you love eggplant parmesean - You Must Come Here!! The service, the menu & the atmosphere are all wonderful!

Amazing fresh food. Every dish was fresh and cooked to perfection. The fish was excellent and they also catered perfectly for vegetarians. The waiters were amazing. The restaurant atmosphere was perfect. Outside tables and inside tables with beautiful flowers in glass vases on each one. Really would recommend. We just walked past it and saw the great menu and it was the best choice. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Loved this spot in Salerno’s old town. Tucked into a historic building with stone arches and cosy atmosphere. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the local wine pairing was excellent. Friendly service and good prices compared to the Amalfi Coast crowds.

The best seafood that I have ever tried. Pasta and lasagna were also 10/10. Friendly service and nice atmosphere

I had a great lunch. Was walking by and the restaurant caught my attention. All the dishes we ordered were really good and fresh. The shrimp ravioli special was really really good as well as the shrimp tartare. I recommend this restaurant and would be happy to come back

Fantastic service, great outside seating, lovely food! Stuffed anchovies and lemon tiramisu were decadent!
