Dishes also feature a wide range of organic herbs and vegetables from the restaurant’s own allotment, as organic produce is extremely important, and essential in some dishes.

The restaurant is popular with local people, as well as with hotel guests. Some of the dishes are legendary within the local community, including the Grigliata di Pesce Misto, an assortment of fresh exotic seafood, handpicked by the restaurant’s chefs.

The full à la carte menu is available from 18:30 until 21:30 and the restaurant is closed on Sundays.

The restaurant has a relaxed and informal atmosphere, with an authentic Mediterranean feel, thanks to the earthy colours, the marble floor and the charming brick archways. The restaurant is fully air conditioned with the latest Dakin air conditioning system.

After you have enjoyed a delicious Italian meal, you can relax in the bar area and enjoy a wide selection of digestifs or an espresso. Alternatively, you could sample one of the house cocktails. Limoncello has proved to be a popular choice to start or finish the evening.
