Interesting place as it served seafood aperitivo. Delicious bites. Refreshing drinks. Good price.

We had a wonderful experience back in September, sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather and charming ambiance. Our party of five was seated immediately, and the waiter was both attentive and knowledgeable, making the evening even more enjoyable. The wine selection was extensive, and the appetizers were not only delicious but also generously portioned. The pizza was AMAZING! Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that we’d happily repeat!

I had dinner here last night. Food was terrific. Atmosphere is true Italian small village feeling, small buzz and chilled environment, not too many tourists either. Best thing was the staff- very kind, efficient and on top of things at all time. Definitely a place to go to!

We were lucky to get a reservation inside, even though the restaurant, especially outside was fully booked. Delicious food, but even more attentive service ( even if we had to wait 50 minutes for the second dish)

Angels at the tables and wizards in the kitchen. Very high standards and so friendly. Favourite spot for a seafood treat.

We came here on the off chance after being recommended a restaurant nearby and we were very pleasantly surprised! Location is ideal, right next to the river and beautiful around sunset. Food was stunning! We had the grilled seafood platter and the panko breadcrumbs seafood platter and both were delicious. Service was great. We had cocktails (also very nice) which came with an aperitif of some fresh raw and cooked fish which was equally as good. Overall - great experience and the price is extremely reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Thank you - one of the best meals we’ve had for a while!

Great restaurant along the beautiful riverfront in Sesto Calende! The food is excellent...including daily lunch specials during the work week. The staff is very kind and attentive and the atmosphere is modern and classy. When the weather is nice it's beautiful to sit outside on their patio along the river...

Italian restaurant specialised in seafood. Big portions and rich flavours. Friendly staff and a nice location, specially when the weather permits outdoor seating. Fair prices.

Such a good restaurant with the view of the lake. Outside sitting on a sunny day is preferred. Very good food prepared on order. The services are great. Worth a visit.

The team is young and very attentive. The meal was very good. The view of the lake was the icing on the cake.

Nice little restaurant near the water at Sesto… we really came here for the crudo especially gamberi rossi but they have interesting seafood choices for pasta etc. wine list is quite good including a Gini soave that you don’t often see. The service is excellent in that they are very accommodating for off menu items.

Nice location in Sesto calende Town centre. Welcoming weitress. Raw fish appetizer medium quality. Had an octopus as main dish but really too salty although the dish was well presented and prepared. Medium quality wine. I'll give another chance

I would not recommend anyone to go there. Pricey and to salty. Good aperitif.

It's really not a 4 or 5 star restaurant according to customer focus - price - quality offer. A really long wait between meals, I had to stand up to pay in the entrance bar because anybody coming, etc. The quality of food is normal even poor according to the high price. In summary, there are many of better options for lunch / dinner in the area.

We had steak and grilled octopus and were quite disappointed. The plates were arranged lovelessly and tasted rather bland. Maybe we did chose the wrong dishes, but this should not happen.
