Ordered a bottle of Vermentino Bianco Terenzuola, spaghetti alio scoglio, calamari and shrimps and salad. Most delicious meal we have had in Italy and without doubt the best value for money. This is an understated and wonderful little restaurant - family run and excellent food. Visit and see for yourself.
