The food is of good quality and roughly on par with the regional average. However, the prices are significantly inflated, making the overall value for money unconvincing. The service is adequate, but the warm Southern Italian hospitality is noticeably lacking.
Another point of concern: one of the pasta dishes on our bill was €2 more expensive than listed on the menu. When we inquired, we were told it might be a “mistake” at the register. However, we had encountered this “mistake” on a previous visit, and other guests have reported similar experiences. Whether this was truly an accident remains questionable.
For these reasons, we cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

We were tabled outdoors. It was pretty humid for today I did not feel any breeze. They have indoors as well not many people were inside. I guess it was my fault because I ate before going to Donna Stella. The food came very quickly and I was analyzing that most people around us were getting pizza. When the lobster pasta came out for me I was already stuffed. I paired it with two Coca-Cola‘s. Agua de gas.
Overall very satisfied with the meal. Great atmosphere a lot of people were staring at us probably because we were the only foreigners. Not so much where everyone was like what are you doing here and who are you? It was more like how did you find out about this hidden gem. No troubles.
Definitely a different vibe compared to Rome and Florence Firenze.
Super phone. One of the waitresses she knew how to speak English and she explain that you have a first meal than a second meal appetizers and then at the end you are served the pizza. Unfortunately I’ve been eating a lot of pizza every single day on this trip. So I didn’t order any at dinner. It also looks like they have weddings at this venue. Also they have a kids playground. So during dinner you see all the kids just running away from the dinner tables to the playground. Also for you to be prepared some people use a lot of cologne and you could smell it from three tables away. Unfortunately I did not prepare my bottles on the strip but next time I can compete.

Beautiful location for dining even if it doesn't have a sea view, but still very suggestive.
Very trained waiters who give that touch of class to the service.
From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was very good, the price was slightly higher than the nearby restaurants but nothing exaggerated, especially considering the quality of the raw materials and the service.
