"We were on a road trip and we visited the Roman theatre and the Roman baths. My brother recommended this place in the area. The challenge when we arrived was that they needed a reservation. They said everything is fully booked until 4:30 (the time was 3pm). So it was a big problem for us to wait or go and come back after 1.5 hour especially that we have 14 months old. To cut a story short, after we pushed hard, they gave us a table. Later we realized that there are some tables available. The food was great and atmosphere was very nice at the restaurant. We had fried chipirones and boquerones and ink squid croquettes. Everything was delicious. The staff were very nice and courteous. The only comment I would have for the management is the service or the organization of the service. There were plenty of waiters running around trying to serve customers, but there was no one assigned to a table. We had to speak to multiple ones…. I am sure this can be managed more efficiently."

"Nice restaurant right to the beach at Bolonia. We arrived at Saturday lunch without reservation . The service is very attentive from the beggining till the end . The place was quite packed ,but we did not wait too long. Fresh sea food is perfect ,the garniesh was a bit oily. The view is nice if you seat outside ,for that worthy to reserve a table . Good choice"

"What a lovely and chill experience overlooking the ruins on the beach. Such kind and helpful staff. The food was fresh and so delicious! The tuna tataki was melt-in-your-mouth good, the fish was perfect, and those sliced potatoes (wow!). We also had mussels, calamare a la plancha and clams in a delicious broth."
