"Very good service, the chef - Amarek is a really nice guy and good at what he is doing: the food is delicious AND a piece of art. Also a very nice view. One thing good to know, you need to walk up the mountin to reach the place, maybe difficult to people who have difficulty walking."

"It was a bit of a mission to find it but so worth it. Spectacular views to enjoy a glass chilled wine or Aperol Spritz and well prepared and presented snacks. Coffee and friendly service was just a cherry on top."

"My husband and I stumbled upon on this place along the Ligurian coast. The food was fantastic & the service was exceptional. The waiter was so kind & offered us a ride back to our car after our meal, as it was a bit dark by the time we finished. It’s relatively new & has some quirks to work out (table lighting, organization, etc.) but it’s incredibly sympathique & we would 100% come here again! The red wine gnocchi was one of our favorite dishes, the cheese platter was also very good with a nice variety. The wine selection & Negronis were tremendous also, & you can’t beat the view."
