A genuine family restaurant that had Italian feel. Excellent quality seafood that was cooked beautifully. These are the sort of meals you get when you visit your Italian grandmother. Just fantastic. The waitress and chef were lovely. We will definitely be back!

Take away fish and chips- absolute best in my like. Can't be beaten. I didn't think I liked calamari but the lovely owner changed my opinion, I love calamari WHEN ITS COOKED HOW SHE DOSE! The fish is always so fresh and you always get your moneys worth. Her batter is crisp and somehow isn't greasy.

Yum! Beautiful thick pieces of fish nicely cooked by the water. Crumbed red emperor and battered snapper here. Snapper was deliciously thick and great texture. Squid & calamari was beautifully cooked with butter-lemon-salty crumb on the [I think] calamari. Both were definitely worth a visit …

Nicest fish and calamari I've had in a while. The fish was a really decent size and very tender and delicious. Generous servings. This will be my go to Fish snd Chip shop from now on. Would recommend.
