Appalling welcome, tasteless food – the ultimate tourist trap!!

Being usually picky and demanding when it comes to food... For once, I've found a restaurant where I really enjoyed my meal, thank you!

Great location, pleasant atmosphere on the terrace, just steps from the port. Friendly and smiling staff. Unfortunately, a big disappointment with the food. The octopus salad was rubbery and bland. The pizza dough was good, but the toppings were tasteless, so I didn't finish my meal and left still hungry. In conclusion: a good place for a drink, but not for a meal.

We arrived for dinner as a group. From the start, the fact that we hadn't made a reservation seemed to be a problem. Eventually, when the owner intervened, we found a table without any difficulty. The service, however, was very disappointing: a novice waiter spilled pasta in my bag, the drinks didn't match our order, and I even found a hair in my food. The most disappointing part came at the time of payment. At the entrance, it states that ANCV holiday vouchers are accepted. When we went to pay, we were suddenly told that only one voucher per person was accepted. When I pointed out that this restriction wasn't posted anywhere, I was told it was "house rule." However, if this is an internal rule, it should be clearly stated before ordering. The worst part was the waitress's reaction. After the person behind the bar relayed our comment, she told us that "you should have read it," claiming it was written down, which it wasn't. Fortunately, the owner knows how to run his restaurant, and the second waiter was pleasant and helpful. Without them, the service would have been disastrous. The only positive point goes to the food: the dishes were good. Unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our experience.

A wonderful Italian restaurant located in the streets of Sanary. The welcome was very warm, and we were very comfortable on the terrace. We enjoyed a delicious pizza as an appetizer, followed by a perfectly cooked and tender beef tagliata for my husband, and pasta for me, cooked al dente just like in Italy! A truly authentic experience. I highly recommend it! 👍🏼

The staff is very helpful and the service is quick. However, we ordered pizzas and they were simply awful. I do not recommend it.

For the second time in three days, a very good homemade Italian restaurant with wood-fired pizza and a family atmosphere, and above all, the owner is meticulous about every dish or homemade dessert that comes out of the kitchen.

Superb pizza, 10/10! And a fantastic waitress, Méline, absolutely lovely and energetic—I'll definitely be back and recommending her to everyone I know.

A very good, pleasant, and delicious restaurant. I highly recommend it. The welcome was excellent, the service was very good, and the food was excellent.

A very warm welcome, beautiful decor, and truly delicious food made with quality ingredients! Very clean restrooms—in short, top-notch! Thank you!

A warm welcome, but truly mediocre food. The beef tagliata was inedible, the meat incredibly rubbery. The "homemade" mashed potatoes were tasteless, without even a pat of butter or salt... the other side dish of potatoes was undercooked, completely white, and hard inside. We ate with pizza knives and without napkins or bread. Honestly, nothing is right. Do you even taste your food? A beef tagliata swimming in pepper sauce with three large pieces, despite the description "thin slices," plus two arugula leaves and two squares of Parmesan... It's not tagliata at all! It's a shame because the branding and decor are great, and the staff is friendly, but the entire menu needs to be revamped!

A very pleasant discovery, top-notch service, a real treat for our taste buds, thank you, see you very soon!
