la nassa
A somewhat larger restaurant where you can also sit outside at the waterfront. There is a very extensive menu with lots of fresh fish and seafood and always good suggestions 'of the day'. But just a nice pizza is also possible here.
After several visits we have noticed a consistent level of quality.
Optimal price-quality ratio.
