Honestly best dinner on the island. We stayed 7 days in Formentera & we tried new spot everyday & most of the food was at best average. This place was above expectations! All three courses were amazing to say the least. The place itself looks gorgeous and the staff were super friendly. I would highly recommend!!

EXTRAORDINARY food. This is possibly the best restaurant in the island. Fantastic decoration and even better service. This is real Italian FINE food. This is not the “Olive Garden” (popular American franchise) with mass produced meals, or the Cheesecake Factory (where portions are humongous). This is real homemade food in the right portion with the appropriate care and service by its Italian brother-owners. Do not miss it and make plans to dine there. It is not cheap (100 Euro two people including wine) but well worth it.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The impeccable service and top-notch food quality exceeded our expectations. As my fiancé has celiac, we were thrilled by the special attention they gave to her dietary needs, even offering a mouthwatering focaccia. The ambiance was delightful, and the overall customer service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place!
