    We had an absolutely amazing meal tonight, for a place that close to the beach we didn’t have much of a idea what we were getting. From the. Whining the meal was outstanding, fast and attentive waitstaff brought us amazing drinks (if you are looking for something sweet and tropical try the Arancino!) and the meal just progressed even further. I had the lasagna while the rest of my family tried different items (the shrimp w/tagliatelli was delicious), but the true star of the meal was the table side prepared cacio de pepe. Make sure to get it with the guanchale!
