My favourute is the calzone and the garlic bread - it is the best on the island. A long list of pizzas to choose from as well as western meals.

The pizza wasn't as good as Duomo's. bit burnt on the base but not really cooked on top. Pasta was ok but not outstanding. Garlic bread and tuna bread for starter was ok. Apple pie ok but not special. Average restaurant really.

Lovely decor and very reasonable prices - the food is not gourmet but not pretty good. Has a very Italian feel.

We had a selection of pizzas and pastas in our group of 6. Everything was excellent, very good quality and very tasty. Service was fast and efficient. Staff were friendly. Shame we discovered it so late into our stay, we would definitely have gone back! Great authentic Italian meal.
