We ate only a couple of times in two
weeks. Our opinion of Italian food, at least in the first two weeks
of August, is that it is vastly overpriced. Low value meals
beginning with a starter course, followed by a pasta course, and then
either a meat or seafood course, each averaging 8 euros. Food
sometimes arrives cold. On the other hand, we would return to

Maristella Trattoria, via Kennedy 9,

Cafe Ciro, for coffee (try
each combo) and pastry in mornings, 079-989-880 |
