Amazing family dinning experience. Breath taking views of Vulcano and surrounding areas. Highly recommend the whole salted baked fish of the day dish, which was beautiful paired with local produce. Great atmosphere and lovely service.

The view from the restaurant was absolutely spectacular – worth the visit for that alone. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting. The €30 mixed appetizer was particularly underwhelming. That said, the service was excellent: the waiters were all incredibly friendly and attentive, especially with our 1-year-old daughter, which we greatly appreciated.

It's a bit of walk from town but definitely worth it. The scenery is exactly how it is described on their sign; breathtaking! The staff were lovely and helpful. They all loved working there. Everyone smiling and enjoying themselves. Perfetto! The kindness of strangers we were presented with a meat & cheeseboard by complete strangers. They were so kind

We hiked up from Lipari to take in the views from the Osservatorio Di Lipari and were rewarded with this incredible restaurant. Our lunch and drinks were perfect, exceeded only by the incredible views of Vulcano. We highly recommend this restaurant and we'll certainly come back!

Abbiamo fatto aperitivo e poi siamo rimasti anche per il dopo cena… e che dire? Tutto semplicemente perfetto. La vista è incantevole, il personale gentile, attento e sempre sorridente, e la qualità del cibo è davvero altissima. Un’esperienza piacevolissima dall’inizio alla fine. Una menzione speciale va agli spaghetti ai ricci… superlativi! Un piatto che da solo vale la visita. Locale curato, atmosfera rilassante e accogliente. Posto super, assolutamente consigliato!
