Atmosphere gets a 10/10, but everything else was wonderful too. Just look at the view!

Had the best spot, upstairs window seat overlooking the harbour. Good spaghetti alle vongole, anchovies and pistachio-encrusted swordfish. Portions were huge. The service was superb, it was a late lunch and overran their closing time but we weren’t rushed at all - Grazie mille.

Nice view, delicious food with a good recommendation from the waitress!

I loved this place, for me, the best restaurant in Panarea, ordered the spaghetti alle vongole, I loved them, but I feel like it didn’t come with enough vongole.

We had the most wonderful dining experience here! Amazing starters and spaghetti vongole was extremely tasty along with the macaroni a la Norma and the swordfish! The service was wonderful, we will definitely be back!
