Original plan was cancelled due to traffic. Stumbled upon this restaurant and initially they said they were fully booked but kindly let us use their toilet. Then it seemed(they didn’t speak English) that they had a cancellation and it was the happiest coincidence. Everything was perfect. The service was warm and the food was amazing. Seafood was super fresh and tiramisu was the best I had in the region.
Posto intimo e raccolto leggermente fuori il centro di Sarzana ma comodamente raggiungibile a piedi. Considerata la preponderanza delle proposte di terra nei ristoranti della zona lo consiglio vivamente se volete gustare un menu a base di pesce. Ho preso i bocconcini di baccalà fritto su letto di vellutata di porri, buonissimi, c era anche una discreta variabilità di fuori menù con il pescato del giorno. Cantina che soddisfa tutti i gusti con una scelta privilegiata sui bianchi e le bollicine. sicuramente consigliato
Absolutely fantastic the truffle pasta with shrimp tartare are to kill for and the grilled amberjack is one of the best grilled fish I ever had period Highly recommend !
Piatti super buoni. Ambiente accogliente e tranquillo. Personale super gentile. Una serata molto gradevole. Grazie mille.
By far rhe best Polpo i ever tasted, very good restaurant with excellent tasting, love itFantastic for food lovers
Ho mangiato benissimo e soprattutto buonissimo. Bis di battuta di tonno e ricciola, un piatto freddo squisito, un antipasto fatto davvero bene. Poi la frittura di pesce che vorrei sempre, asciutta e saporita! Servito con cura e gentilezza!
Cibo buonissimo e freschissimo. Varietà di piatti tra antipasti, primi e secondi. Personale molto gentile e professionale. Molto consigliato!! Delicious, fresh food. A wide variety of appetizers, first courses, and second courses. Very friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended!
Davvero ottimo ristorante di pesce! È assolutamente necessario prenotare, perché i posti sono pochi il che, a mio avviso, è una fortuna: tanto per cominciare non c'è confusione, ma i pochi posti a sedere consentono una grande attenzione al cliente; in secondo luogo tutto quello che viene proposto nel menù è estremamente fresco (non servono grandi quantità di cibo da stoccare per sfamare decine e decine di persone). Le porzioni sono giuste, i tempi di attesa tra una portata e l'altra anche. L'ambiente è raccolto e gradevole. Molto buoni i gamberi in tempura di antipasto; forse un po' troppo cruda la ricciola (era un fuori menù - una cosa che ho apprezzato è che anche per i fuori menù c'era il prezzo sulla lavagnetta - cosa non scontata nella stragrande maggioranza dei ristoranti che te li dicono a voce e non indicano il costo). Nota davvero positiva il dolce: una crostata alla cassata! Particolare e davvero buonissima!
