About

A simple Watamu spot frequented by locals serving super cheap, delicious grilled fish or chicken — whole fish for less than 10 euros. Big Mama and her husband at the barbecue are exceptional, and the out-of-the-ordinary location is fabulous.

    The grilled fish and calamari were very good, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount you get. The place is simple and frequented by locals, which is what convinced us to eat here. It's worth a visit.

    Great staff, exceptional Big Mama and her husband at the barbecue, we ate excellent grilled fish in a location that is truly out of the ordinary in Italy but fabulous, I wouldn't change it for our restaurants, all of which are fricchettone, I was truly satisfied with everything
