Renowned place on the sea, visited for a wedding, for dinner. Plenty of parking, but difficult to find a place nearby. Very well-kept place in furnishing and organization of staff. The bathrooms I used are the same as in the Lido, located outside and not particularly numerous or comfortable, but inside the room there were other services that I did not use. The table set up with great care, even if you often hit the ampoules with candles suspended inside the gazebo where the table was located, facing the beach. Very efficient service with attentive and courteous staff. Sea / mountain buffet appetizer: 9.5 rating - exceptional for quantity and quality; the best oysters I have tasted, excellent raw foods (prawns, tuna and clams as well as the aforementioned oysters), knife cut ham, mixed vegetable fry (courgette flowers stuffed with excellent ricotta), really exciting.

Risotto with cheese and pepper with lime shrimp: vote 5, even here I did not appreciate the combination of various flavors.
Sea bass with cereals with zucchini cream: grade 6, the fish was very fresh and of excellent quality, but my piece had been too cooked to be dry; the portion served to my father was much better cooked. The courgette cream and the cereals were undoubtedly effective but not particularly appreciated for the combination with the flavor of the fish.
Good and varied dessert buffet: grade 8. Excellent rum corner, with fine bottles: grade: 9.
In summary: very nice, well-kept and evocative place (nice idea of having dinner in front of the beach), excellent quality of all the products but combinations of flavors that did not convince me in some cases; however it remains a very valid choice. The entrance is quite accessible even to those with mobility problems (there are some steps, and the fact of being on the beach can also bring some inconvenience to those wearing heels)
