Why people keep coming back

Nothing complicated — just good ingredients treated with respect.

Farm to table

Vegetables and olive oil arrive daily from growers we know by name.

Wood-fired kitchen

Everything that touches the grill is cooked over olive-wood embers.

Family recipes

Three generations of the same kitchen, the same lemon roast potatoes.

The place

A terrace over the water

Twelve tables under a vine-covered pergola, close enough to the sea to hear it between courses. In summer the boats tie up below and the catch walks straight up the steps to the kitchen.
