Visited this place this evening but should have checked on Trip Advisor first. Firstly, stale rolls with aioli. We then waited an hour for main course and eventually gave up and left. Noticed other diners were unhappy too!

I would rather go hungry than eat there ever again. We have ordered steak as usually you won't get food poisoning from that. The meat was one of the toughest I had, the presentation on the plate was beyond awful. It look like a pile of rubbish on a plate, just like you see in some of the restaurant’s on... More

Might be an obvious one, but make sure you check your bill here. Only afterwards did I realise they charged us for two glasses of wine instead of one, and two bottles of water instead of one, and rushed our money off the table before we had properly checked the receipt. Taking advantage of the obvious tourists as mentioned in... More

The location is great, but if you explore further out of the main tourist area you will find better food at cheaper prices.

We were staying in an apartment very nearby and this was our first night. We decided as we were tired to go for something easy and a pizza seemed a good idea. We had prawns in garlic and oil to start, one portion between us. These were lovely and enough to share. Euros 13.80. Then we had a pizza each... More

We have had a few good meals here over the years. This time was absolutely appalling. They seem to have gone to Indian menu and fallen between 2 stools. - so our spaghetti carbonara was swimming in oil and virtually inedible. No Parmesan or pepper offered. The pizza was probably reheated and like an over done naan bread with some... More

Ate here on a Friday night. Quite busy but attentive friendly service. Had mushroom soup huge portion! Followed by chicken curry. Very tasty. Simple decor. Could not manage coffee but we were given a complimentary limoncello. Would go again.

Went here the other night and ordered fillet steak. When the food arrived they had served us the much cheaper cut of a very tough rump steak. In hindsight we should have complained then, but thought the waiter had taken our order wrong. Coincidently the (Spanish speaking) table next to us had also ordered fillet steak which they did get.... More

Sorry to have to agree with all the other reviewers on here but this place is absolutely dreadful! Don't be fooled by the fact that it always looks busy inside as this is testement to the silver tongued waiter who stands by the door coaxing people in rather than the food or service. My Pizza - stone cold and obviously... More

We have been here before and it used to be good but not any longer. First of all they got the order wrong and starters arrived at different times, including a tomato salad and a Ravioli that any Italian chef would never have allowed to leave the kitchen, the complaint about the Ravioli was ignored. Tasteless Gnocci and the worst... More
