A nice family run restaurant. Food was great and at great price and plenty of locals eating here. It didn’t look busy but the restaurant has a section out the back where more people could eat and it kept filling as the evening went on with locals. To the left of the restaurant was parking off the main road you can park your car down the back safely. You will enjoy your meal. My husband and I tried the homemade pasta with seasonal mushrooms and pizza and cream brûlée and tiramisu. The house red was really nice too

Hidden gem! Family run restaurant with some really delicious food at good prices, generous servings, pizza some of the best we have had in Italy. Local in season ingredients used on the menu. If locals are eating there then it’s good. Basic decor but it’s about the food. If you are staying anywhere in pelago area it’s worth the drive. Parking is down the lane beside the restaurant. Bonapetit.

Had great pizzas & actually went back for a second round of desserts. Very “backwoods” ambience but smiling service & good prices. Highly recommend their creme brûlée and the tiramisu!

Very nice restaurant with a great view! Wood fired pizza oven and not expensive. When driving past you may not realize it has a nice terrace at the back... Well worth the visit! Mainly local visitors.
