"Cena deliziosa a base di cozze e pasta con le sarde. Ho trovato un grande affollamento (sabato sera di luglio), ma il servizio era talmente veloce che i camerieri riuscivano a liberare i tavoli per far sedere i clienti in attesa. E in effetti valeva la pena mettersi in coda fuori dal locale. Raccomandato!"

"Ordinazione da asporto, precisa e puntuale. Il pollo è veramente molto speziato e saporito, tenerissimo. Le patatine (sono stati molto gentili nel metterle in un contenitore separato su richiesta del mio bimbo) sono semplici e senza spezie, non troppo salate. Rispetto al solito pollo, direi un gradino superiore. Prezzo decisamente alla portata di tutti. Pollo intero e patate 11 euro."

"Ci siamo trovati per caso e, devo dire, indubbiamente siamo stati ben accolti. Ambiente raccolto, spartano, e una discreta scelta di panini. Interessanti le panelle che ci hanno proposto. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, personale gentile. Complessivamente una buona esperienza."
