Nestled at Riva Tommaso Gulli, this small trattoria attracts locals and visitors alike, drawn by its authentic atmosphere and honest, home-cooked style dishes.

The culinary experience here centers around fresh seafood and traditional regional specialties.

Score: 3.8 This small restaurant near the port packed with locals during lunchtime. The ambiance feels frozen in time. They offer home-cooked-style dishes — nothing extravagant, but honest, fresh, and authentic. We enjoyed a creamy risotto that was technically perfect and paired it with the house white wine, we couldn't find the answer about variety . Our best guess is a cuvée with a hint of Moscato. The service was also good; despite the fact that there was only one person handling it, they managed everything we need efficiently without any noticeable lapses. If you're looking for simple, unpretentious, yet genuine food, this place is worth a try.

Food here is really good so we came back a few days later to try other dishes. The Spaghetti alle Vongole were fresh and tasty as well as the Calamari alla Griglia! The Risotto is delightful as well. Try the Friulano wine and enjoy the atmosphere at the marina!
