Gianni, the host/entertainer is a legend. The food is what you would expect at the seaside in the south, rather homely with a good variety for a fixed menu. It really helps tourists to appreciate the local cuisine without having to go into overdraft!

Great restaurant. We had a double fish menu, highly recommended. Also the wine is great. It is a busy restaurant so it is wise to reserve a seat.

Top Of the Top. The view and the sea food are marvelous. Unique place that every food lover should visit.

Great food, great service, amazing 👏 view!

Excellent set menus, good prices and nice wines. Most relaxing place with great views and service

I was really excited to go to this place, since the reviews suggested this restaurant being an exceptional one with delicious food. Since it was one of the busiest restaurants in Rodi, we had to make a reservation, but that's OK. According to the menu you can choose from two options, fish or meat for a reasonable price (18 euros for the fish menu with a starter, first and second course + dessert and limoncello on the house). The food was really tasty, however, I would definitely not go back to this place. First of all, when we finished the first course, we left our cutlery on our plates, assuming we would get clean one with the second course. Well, the waiter thought differently and put our used fork and knife back on the table. I was still telling myself, don't get upset, this is just a minor setback, but when the headwaiter started to brag about him not speaking any foreign language and made fun of us that we hadn't understood perfectly everything he said in Italian, well... let's just say it killed the mood.

Great place. Great food. Great location. A must see in lovely Gargano

I have read conflicting opinions in here and I can imagine that the experience might not have been as expected for some customers in the past. But my experience on last September, in this restaurant, was very positive: the atmosphere, the scenery, the service, the food. I cannot speak about first courses (pasta, risotto, etc.), as I had any. But I can speak about the cruditè and the second course I had: just trascendental... And I felt it was unfair seeing such low ranking in here. So I wanted to stop a minute and write down this review. If you want to enjoy master-chef fish cuisine nearby the Gargano National park, in the beautiful Apulia, this is the place to go.

We are disappointed about the quality of the food. The chief-cook have used too much oil in the pasta and risotto. The taste of the seafood was completely gone. It was a waste of our money!

Seafood wen it is the best. you really get value for the money. excellent service and very friendly staff.

Had very delicious food, great service and everything was fresh. Would definitely go back

I really expected more, we were passing by and we were hungry but the food was so poorly prepared that we barely finished our meals.

Very delicious seafood. Beautiful setting at the beach.

Beautiful scenery, great service, good fresh seafood.

Nice quality food a little small on the portions was overall content, I would revisit again

Amazing food and wonderful people! We went there several times and each time the food was extraordinary delicious. The owner & staff were soo nice & friendly. GRAZIE for being so nice to your guests from Persia! 🫶🏽

Excellent fish very well prepared. Nice view on the sea. Very kind staff.

Pretty pricey. Nothing else was open and a nice view. The prices advertised don’t reflect what you actually pay. One reason why Spain and France get more turismo.

fish was overdone, but pasta and shells was ok. over all 3..or 4 stars. but stuff was kind and view was beautiful

Very good food, wine, view, people. Amazing! Thanks😊

The olives, sphagetti alla vongole and the wine of the house was great, the view as well.

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel clerk . We are so happy we came here ! This place has not only great service but sea food to die for at very reasonable prices ! Must come to this restaurant if you are visiting Rodi !

Best restaurant in Rodi, must try.

Pizza was tasty :)

Expensive

(Translated by Google) Truly excellent hot and cold starters. Very high quality of fish, highly recommended paccheri with pistachio cream and prawns. Very good grilled fish and sea bream with artichokes and olives cooked in an excellent way, the sea bream was like a cream because of how soft it was. Really all good! Average prices for a fish restaurant in a seaside town. (Original) Antipasti caldi e freddi davvero eccellenti. Qualità del pesce molto alta, consigliatissimi paccheri alla crema di pistacchio e gamberi. Grigliata molto buona e orata carciofi e olive cucinata in modo egregio, l’orata era come una crema da quanto morbida. Davvero tutto buono! Prezzi nella media di un ristorante di pesce in una località di mare.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant located just before the center of Rodi Garganico, the place is small, well looked after and offers good quality fish food, the service was not bad but not the best as there was a waiter at the service and that was it, we had dinner served they offered a mix of raw and cooked fish starters, the raw fish were really of excellent quality, in particular I really liked the fantastic blue prawn and the oysters, and then continued with two courses of first courses, unfortunately we were unable to taste the second courses as we were full, prices for the quality offered I would say were honest. (Original) Ristorante situato poco prima del centro di rodi garganico, il locale è piccolo ben curato che offre cibo di pesce di buona qualità,il servizio non male ma neanche il massimo in quanto vi era presente un cameriere al servizio e basta, come cena abbiamo fatto fare a loro un misto di antipasti di crudo e cotto di pesce i crudi erano veramente di ottima qualità in particolare mi è piaciuto molto il gambero blu fantastico e le ostriche , per poi proseguire con due portate di primi , i secondi purtroppo non siamo riusciti ad assagiarli in quanto eravamo sazi, prezzi per la qualità offerta direi onesto.

(Translated by Google) Friendliness, professionalism, quality! Welcoming venue, courteous and knowledgeable staff, extremely fresh fish cooked by knowledgeable and expert hands. For lovers of high-level cuisine and the high quality of the raw materials used. Honest price and absolutely adequate for the quality of the product offered. We will return shortly. Well done!!!!! (Original) Cordialità,professionalità,qualità! Locale accogliente, personale cortese e preparato, pesce freschissimo e cucinato da mani sapienti ed esperte. Per amanti della cucina di un certo livello e dell'alta qualità delle materie prime utilizzate. Prezzo onesto e assolutamente adeguato alla qualità del prodotto offerto. Ci ritorneremo a breve. Bravi!!!!!

Terrible ezperience. The ravioly dish was a shameful 6 small pieces and was way over priced. We also ordered fried calamari and shrimps and got only calamari. When i comained they brought me some fried shrimps but it was not cleanes. The poo was still inside. The salad had a bitter lettuce. The pizza was nothing but ok.. Avoid..

(Translated by Google) It has become a tradition that my family and I go to the garden at least once during our vacation. Always impeccable food. Dishes treated and always very good, fresh fish. Environment surrounded by nature, but a pity for some mosquitoes. Prices proportional to the quality of the food. Special note Maurizio, a boy from the province of Avellino, very helpful, smiling and at the same time discreet. He was very kind and offered all very good dishes. I absolutely feel like suggesting "The Garden" (Original) È ormai tradizione che io e la mia famiglia andiamo al giardino almeno una volta durante la nostra vacanza. Cibo sempre impeccabile. Piatti curati e sempre molto buoni, pesce fresco. Ambiente immerso nella natura, peccato però per qualche zanzara. Prezzi proporzionali alla qualità del cibo. Nota particolare Maurizio, un ragazzo della provincia di Avellino, molto disponibile, sorridente e allo stesso discreto. È stato molto gentile e ha proposto piatti tutti molto buoni. Mi sento assolutamente di suggerire "Il giardino"

Very good service, nice location in a garden, food is great

(Translated by Google) Fantastic food, from appetizers to desserts ... you can choose between fish meat or pizza ... excellent variety ... very kind and very helpful staff ... we came to this place with family and friends ... excellent cleaning and spacing strange tables ... with sanitization at each change of booking. Parking inside and outside if you want to eat outside. (Original) Cibo fantastico, dagli antipasti ai dolci...puoi scegliere tra pesce carne o pizza...ottima varietà... personale gentilissimo e disponibilissimo...siamo venuti in questo posto con la famiglia ed in compagnia di amici...pulizia ottima e distanziamento strani tavoli...con sanificazione ad ogni cambio di prenotazione. Parcheggio all'interno e posto all'esterno se si vuole mangiare fuori..

Opening hours are wrong. You may go all the way there and they won’t serve you anything even if they are serving other people in front of your eyes.

(Translated by Google) We were guests of the Garden last night, invited by relatives. Let's say that if you want to make a good impression, this is the ideal place. The location is beautiful, and despite the place being full, the service was quick and accurate. The strong point is certainly the excellent cuisine. For those who want to satisfy their craving for fish, this is perfect. We found the appetizers excellent: the stuffed mussels, the tasting of raw seafood with oysters, served excellently, the carpaccio and the amberjack tartare, tuna and swordfish very tasty, the anchovy pie, the crispy cod fish and chips , the mackerel salad with samphire and the inevitable burratina which goes well with all the fish flavours. Attractive arrangement of dishes, on slate slabs. We asked for a baked turbot with potatoes as a main course, which was shown to us before cooking and then excellently boned and plated at the table. José's advice on wines is excellent, which I would like to share in turn: D'Araprì Rosè, local sparkling wine, classic method, an excellence. In closing, the delicately flavored bergamot dessert also confirms the cuisine's refined research for new proposals in the tradition of local products. Attentive service to frivolous table requests such as group photos. The sorbet offered while waiting for dessert was appreciated. What can I say, a bit of a long review, because it was truly deserved. Excellent experience to repeat. Highly recommended. (Original) Siamo stati ospiti del Giardino ieri sera, invitati da parenti. Diciamo che se si vuol fare bella figura, questo è il posto ideale. Bella la location, e nonostante locale pieno, servizio svelto e accurato. Sicuramente il punto di forza è l'ottima cucina. Per chi vuole togliersi la voglia di pesce, qui è perfetto. Abbiamo trovato ottimi gli antipasti: le cozze ripiene, la degustazione dei crudi di mare con anche le ostriche, serviti egregiamente, i carpacci e le tartare di ricciola, tonno e spada gustosissimi, il tortino d'alici, il fish and chips di baccalà croccante, l'insalatina di sgombri con la salicornia e l'immancabile burratina che ben si accosta a tutti i sapori di pesce. Disposizione accattivante delle portate, su lastre d'ardesia. Abbiamo chiesto come secondo un rombo al forno con patate, che ci è stato mostrato prima della cottura e poi egregiamente spinato e impiattato al tavolo. Ottimo il consiglio di José sui vini, che mi sento di condividere a mia volta: D'Araprì Rosè, vino mosso locale, metodo classico, un'eccellenza. In chiusura, anche il dolce al bergamotto dal gusto delicato, conferma la ricerca raffinata della cucina per proposte nuove nella tradizione dei prodotti del territorio. Servizio attento alle richieste frivole del tavolo come foto del gruppo. Apprezzato il sorbetto offerto in attesa del dolce. Che dire, una recensione un pò lunga, perché davvero meritata. Ottima esperienza da ripetere. Consigliatissimo.

(Translated by Google) We went to this restaurant two weeks ago. A few steps from the sea, but surrounded by nature. We took the seafood appetizers recommended by the waiter. All excellent. First and second courses with very fresh fish. I attach some photos. Prices are normal and suitable for the quality of the raw material. We will definitely be back. Ps. We had a small mix-up with a second one, but it was promptly resolved. The professionalism of the staff is 5 stars. In addition to the restaurant there is also a hotel with a swimming pool for those who wish to stay. (Original) Siamo stati in questo ristorante due settimane fa. A pochi passi dal mare, ma immerso nella natura. Abbiamo preso gli antipasti di mare consigliati dal cameriere. Tutti ottimi. Primi e secondi con pesce freschissimo. Allego qualche foto. I prezzi sono nella norma e idonei per la qualità della materia prima. Sicuramente ci torneremo. Ps. Abbiamo avuto un piccolo disguido con un secondo, ma tempestivamente risolto. La professionalità del personale è da 5 stelle. Oltre al ristorante c'è anche l'hotel con piscina per chi volesse soggiornare.

(Translated by Google) Had dinner in the garden, very beautiful. Very efficient service. One of the requested dishes was not available but they had solutions off the menu and this also indicates the freshness of the products. Generous portions and very good food. A particular appreciation for the semifreddo with the "lemon??" Which they have in the garden, really delicious (Original) Cenato nel giardino, molto bello. Servizio molto efficiente. Uno dei piatti richiesti non era disponibile ma avevano delle soluzioni fuori menù e questo indica anche la freschezza dei prodotti. Porzioni generose e cibo molto buono. Un particolare apprezzamento al semifreddo con il "limone??" Che hanno in giardino, davvero squisito

(Translated by Google) A must for those who want to try the true tastes of the Gargano with truly particular and well-made dishes. Excellent service, friendly and courteous staff available for any type of request. Excellent flavors and fabulous, well-prepared dishes. Abundant and above all freshly cooked dishes excellent manner. Very quiet location and finally excellent value for money... Absolutely to return. (Original) Tappa d'obbligo per chi vuole provare i veri gusti del Gargano con pietanze davvero particolari e ben fatte. Ottimo servizio, personale gentile e cortese e disponibile per qualsiasi tipo di richiesta. Ottimi sapori e piatti favolosi e molto curati. Piatti abbondanti e soprattutto cucinati in maniera eccellente. Location molto tranquilla e per finire ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo... Da ritornarci assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) We had lunch in this restaurant, booking 2 days before, they were very friendly on the phone, answering all our questions and reserving the table we chose for us.... The service is excellent, fast and friendly, they recommended local specialties which we enjoyed it a lot, the dishes are very generous, all dishes were truly delicious, the fried food was superb, the troccoli allo scoglio were divine and everything else was special. They offered us coffee and liqueurs, the kindness was unique, we were all pleasantly enthusiastic enough to return after a few days, the 5 stars are well deserved 😍 (Original) Abbiamo pranzato in questo ristorante prenotando 2 giorni prima, sono stati molto cordiali al telefono rispondendo a tutte le nostre domande e riservandoci il tavolo da noi scelto.... Il servizio è eccellente, veloci e simpatici, ci hanno consigliato le specialità del posto che abbiamo apprezzato molto, i piatti sono molto abbondanti, portate davvero tutte squisite, una frittura superlativa, i troccoli allo scoglio divini e tutto il resto era speciale. Ci hanno offerto caffè e liquori, la gentilezza è stata unica, tutti siamo rimasti piacevolmente entusiasti tanto da ritornarci dopo qualche giorno, le 5 stelle sono meritatissime 😍
