Great value for money, especially from Tue to Fri thanks to their “workers’menu” (12 EUR for primo, secondo, caffè). I’ve been a loyal customer since 2007. The restaurant has been renovated around 2013. It’s only open at lunch. Great view, pleasant breeze. I recommend taglierini al pesto and the rabbit. Great the tiramisù. Kind and welcoming staff. Book if you want to make sure to dine there.
