About

The owner's attentive, the rooftop terrace has ocean views, and the caprese salad and focaccia from the stone oven are both excellent. Go for those, maybe the carpaccio—skip the seafood pizza unless you want to spend the night regretting it.

    The focaccia was tasty, but the Pizza is average. Service is OK, can be better if waiters paid attention to detail.

    Awesome Italian restaurant with delicious caprese salad, pastas, pizza, and Italian wine. The owner and staff are very attentive and super helpful. Beautiful place for a delicious dinner and they are dog friendly!

    Italian restaurant. Service was very good and fast, owner keeps serious attention to this which is appreciated. Carpaccio was really delicious, focaccia was awesome as well(they have the real stone oven there). Prawns cocktail was OK, but nothing special, easy meal, prawns are small, carpaccio was much more enjoyable. The tuna main course was good, 3 big chops of the fresh tuna, good and big meal. Pizza was taken to go, and actually it was nothing special, we tried much better in Kenya (other Italian restaurant). It supposed to be the seafood (tuna, shrimps, squid), however it was mostly tuna pieces there.. House wine (Italian) was very good, with a reasonable price. Overall, it is a nice Italian restaurant to spend a time for a quality dinner.
