"Ci siamo stati domenica scorsa e ce ne siamo subito innamorati. Lo staff è cordiale, simpatico e premuroso…..ci hanno fatto stare talmente bene che ci siamo ritornati tutta la settimana Spiaggia incantevole, pranzi prelibati (gli spaghetti alle vongole sono i più buoni mai mangiati)…..e per non farci mancare nulla, al lato bar, ci hanno coccolati con squisiti cocktail e gelati. Insomma, noi ci siamo sentiti a casa e ci ritorneremo sicuramente, speriamo decidiate di passare anche voi"

"3 triestini e 1 romana.... siamo arrivati al primo cancello grazie alle recensioni e alle foto lette sulle altre recensioni.... e abbiamo trovato un ambiente familiare con personale cordiale e molto simpatico. Abbiamo preso i lettini e per pranzo abbiamo usufruito del servizio ristorante ma mangiato al lato bar, perché mi ero dimenticato di prenotare al ristorante, dove non hai il servizio a tavolo ma abbiamo mangiato 2 spaghetti cone vongole spettacolare..... lo consiglio a tutti e 1 di frittura di calamari. E per finire gin tonic. Tutto favoloso.... sicuramente ai Romani serve poco la recensione ma per chi viene da fuori se volete mangiare dell'ottimo pesce con i piedi sulla spiaggia venite assolutamente qui."

"Ristorante sulla spiaggia, preparatevi a mangiare con i piedi tra la sabbia. È possibile ammirare il tramonto sul mare. Il menù non prevede un ampia scelta in quanto sono proposti i classici piatti di pesce e una cucina molto semplice (tra i primi indicati nel menu ne erano disponibili solamente tre). Come antipasto abbiamo preso l’insalata di polpo e la catalana di gamberi, molto buoni e freschi. Come secondi abbiamo provato la frittura mista, porzione abbondante, il fritto fatto bene e non unto e una grigliata mista buona ed abbondante. Il servizio è stato veloce e i ragazzi gentili, le uniche pecche sono state che ho dovuto chiedere tre volte il vino e i secondi non sono arrivati insieme. Nel complesso ho passato una bella serata ma ho trovato i prezzi un po’ alti considerando il contesto in cui ci si trova. Di fronte al ristorante c è un parcheggio pubblico dove però il ristorante mette a disposizione un guardiano che lo custodisce."
