The weather continues to be fabulous. So a wonderful location with great views and with a good friend so the scene was set.

Linguine Scoglio. A large plate, abundant with seafood.
The house white made a good accompaniment.

The staff, friendly and efficient.

Looking forward to my next visit.

We were recommended this lovely little restaurant by our B&B hosts who booked us a table. When we arrived we were directed to a table where we booked looked out on the lake... very romantic! At first glance the menu looked expensive as a set price 45euro I think, then we saw you could order separately which worked out nearly half the price, very good value. We also had a lovely bottle of prosecco for 10 euro, this would cost more than double in England.
We enjoyed the meal and the chance to sit and look out at the boats and swans whilst the moon came up, also very quiet for being on the side of a road.

Super good setting for summer or winter. Great food - waiters come across grumpy but they really aren't.

You must book ahead of time if wanting a table for the weekend in the summer.

That says it all. Over our week's holiday in the area we went back to this wonderful restaurant for the 5th time during our stay before our flight home. A simple restaurant with a gorgeous waterfront location with a short fish only menu. Short is good as this usually is promising and II Rapanello will not let you down. Very reasonable prices with a decent Pinot Grigio as E10 are bot! 4 dinner visits and final for lunch.
Well done guys.

Despite the beautiful location the food is excellent. All seafood and innovative. Service a tad slow but who cares when blessed with that view. Pino Grigio only $10 a bot so had two. Nice team. went last night and shall return this evening.
