Had dinner here at sunset and it was lovely!! Food was delicious and great value- i really recommend the shrimp and truffle risotto 😋. The ravioli portion size was slightly small. Desserts were very nice and we were given a complementary lemon slushie drink at the end 😍. Staff were really friendly though service could have been slightly faster- our food was brought out at quite different times. Not too many vegetarian options. Overall would 100% recommend though!!

We ate like kings here. The Seabass carpaccio may have been one of the best apps I’ve ever had. Salty, sour, briney, fatty )in the best way) just really well done. Seafood risotto was exceptional. And then the deserts—-the tiramisu was great, but the Pista, that was a bite I will NEVER forget. Beautiful views, and incredible food.

Dining here was an unforgettable experience from the moment we arrived. Set on a pier, the restaurant offers a stunning atmosphere with beautiful waterfront views that instantly set the tone for a relaxing and memorable evening. The wine selection was excellent, with a well-curated list that paired perfectly with the meal. We started with a variety of appetizers, each one delicious and thoughtfully prepared—an ideal introduction to what was to come. The main courses were nothing short of incredible, full of rich flavors and presented with real attention to detail. What truly elevated the experience was the staff. Warm, attentive, and professional, they made us feel welcome throughout the entire visit and ensured everything ran smoothly without ever being intrusive. Between the outstanding food, exceptional wine, and unbeatable location, this is a place I would gladly return to and highly recommend.

The view was amazing, and the restaurant itself looked really beautiful. The food was delicious and prepared fast, which we really appreciated. My husband liked pasta a lot! The waiter was a bit quiet, which felt a little unusual compared to our experience in Durrës, where people are usually very warm and friendly everywhere. Still, we enjoyed our time and had a very pleasant meal overall.
