We went for lunch and the food was delicious! Took rigatoni with seafood, rigatoni with tomato sauce for kids and fried fish and all the dishes were tasty and of quality. The service unfortunately was not that good as there was only one person to take orders  and take care of everything else.., we wanted to order fish soup but were told that it can only be ordered under prior reservation which was not indicated on the menù. After that we asked if there were other dishes that could not be ordered and the answer was that only fish soup cannot be ordered without prior reservation, so we asked for pepata di cozze  and the answer was that it was not available...under my opinion the information about not available dishes should be told immediately after giving the menù...so this is one point that could and should be improved.
The restaurant is quite small and cozy, mise en place of the table was tastefuly made. Giving 4 stars because the food was really good, however would not go back due to service.

The scampi crudo and cuttlefish with a pea purée and pecorino wafer are two of the best dishes we’ve had in Termoli. The roast turbot was also fresh and delightful. We will definitely be back

This was one of the best fish meals we have had for a while. There was nothing that we were unhappy with. Outstanding grilled octopus, fresh and well seasoned tuna, and the mixed fish grill was superb. Good selection of wines, one of the best Crema Catalan desserts (from Italy!!) - with a lovely dining room and helpful staff. We were two very satisfied New Zealanders!

Beautiful atmosphere, quality service, but the food was underwhelming. The fish did not taste fresh, which was very surprising, considering the location. In fact, I could not finish it. Again, as with another restaurant in the walled city of Termoli, I was unable to order the risotto because it was only available for two people. I might also mention that despite knowing I have celiac disease, the basket of bread remained on my table throughout dinner.

Very good restaurant in the ancient town. It has inside and outside tables. My wife and I chose to stay outside and it was really nice.
Appetisers: grilled octopus and tuna.
First courses: linguine with clams and pasta with mixed fish cooked and served in a terracotta soup plate.
Dessert: tiramisù and sorbetto.
Wine: local rosè.
Everything was very good.
The staff is very nice and the price ok, considering the quality.
Strongly recommended
