Super good.

We went for lunch on August 15th, though I didn't stay there. My wife and I already knew the restaurant from eating there several times. It's got a family atmosphere, with helpful, friendly staff, and the owner is pleasant and discreet. The set menu is tried and true: the fish is fresh and always excellent, and the cooking is lovely. The seafood appetizers come in such abundance that they could make a complete meal on their own. There are seafood and meat dishes, too, and everything made lunch a real pleasure. The staff were attentive, very polite, and warm. Thanks to Mr. Emilio and everyone there for giving us such a wonderful day and meal.

The waiter was very kind, which was the bright spot. We had lunch today. The appetizer was ordinary, and the spaghetti with clams was hard rather than al dente. With a bottle of water, coffee, and dessert, the bill came to 80 euros. We won't be back.

The setting by the lake was lovely, and the staff were friendly, but they seemed inexperienced. We waited a very long time because it looked like they served one course to every table at once, starting with appetizers, then first courses, and presumably the second courses after that. After 2.5 hours we were too tired to order a second course. We also didn't receive the dishes we'd asked for, and what we did get was far from what we'd ordered. The appetizers were average and the first courses were good, though I wouldn't recommend the seafood risotto.
