    Went to this place in Trou aux biches for dinner. Ordered some deep fried baby calamari which were fantastic, served with a nice salsa and modified mayonaise. We recevied the small basket of bread after starters and the bread was stone cold which i requested to be heated. Second starter was the fresh tuna carpaccio which also very nice tasty. The main course i ordered was the beef lasangnia and my wife had the stuffed cannelloni with fish and crab. Now the starters were great but we were a bit disappointed with the main courses. First of all the lasangia had a slightly tangy (in a not soo good manner) tomato sauce and the cannelloni would have been perfect if it was made with fresh tuna. Even though advertised as having crab meat the cannelloni didnt taste of any crab at all. We ordered the desert and the tiramisu was very very good :) Overall the service was nice, the servers seemed a bit tired which is understandable. But the main course is what I was really looking forwards to which didnt keep the pace set by the great appetisers. This place has a lot of potential and i would definitely come again but hope to enjoy my maincourse this time :)

    Nice italian restaurant, chic place. I really love the dinner here. I took Tagliatelle with chicken. And for the dessert it was a crème brûlée.

    You should book in advance, but even in this case you could wait for an hour. Nice and friendly staff. Small menu - starters, pasta, one fish, one meat. Wine by glass is rather expensive and not very good. Fish is so so, meat is really perfect. On the third dinner staff suggested to try lobster, which is not on menu. Ooh :( I'm so dissapointed. Very salty, not soft, what a sorrow. Don't try.

    Amazing pasta dishes - been to 120 countries - those are some of the best ever. Rather cheap. Must have reservation.

    Unique, cozy restaurant with really good Italian food and wine. The place is small and service is very attentive and quick. There are tables outside and inside the restaurant. Impressive collection of wines. The place with a soul where you will want to come back when on holidays in Mauritius.

    A true blessing in the neighbourhood . Run by Italians and staffed by locals a win - win . View is brilliant as you are across the street from the Indian Ocean. If you were dining on the beach you will be dining with the flies . My tell tale sign of a good restaurant is the bread 🥖. It is difficult to find quality bread here but they have secured a fabulous Italian bakery for fresh healthy bread … Had the Lamb shank with potatoes and a brilliant gravy , Soul Food . A variety of wines and drinks 🍺. Reasonable pricing for the high quality. Hats off to the staff . Place is always packed so make reservations. Enjoy 🙏

    Great service and authentic, delicious, Italian "homestyle" food. Our party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. Both vegetarian & meat options were excellent. We would have loved Italian music to add to the ambience... We will most definitely go back!

    Locals recommend this restaurant but i didn't like it. Its near the road loads of noisy cars and bikes pass in front, the food took quite some time to arrive, the waiters didn't know details about the dishes, the menu is not appealing. We had a lamb shank and seafood tagliatelle. The tagliatelle was ok but the lamb shank had a roquefort taste not tasty at all. We paid rs1950 and we were very disappointed of the food quality. Nothing fresh. I definitely don't recommend.

    We stumbled on this restaurant for a sunday family lunch and was a really nice surprise. Ran by an italian couple that are passionate about sharing their Italian food heritage with a local twist. The freshest of ingredients used, especially the seafood. The steak with that cheese sauce was amazing! Great staff too. Highly recommended!

    Burger was disappointing. Dry and overcooked. And they didn't have cheese. But my partner had the seafood pizza and she enjoyed it very much.

    Great food, one of the best restaurants that ive had food at in Mauritius. One comment is that the waiters are really slow, and this can be fixed to get a better service. Other than that, you can find nice fine italian wine, which is hardly found in restaurants here in Mauritius.

    Great Italian restaurant near the water. Seems very popular since it's more or less always full. Very good service and super flexible since our kids 3 and 5 are a bit picky with the food in general. They listened and fulfilled alla our wishes. Also one of the fastest service on the island even though the restaurant was full. We tried the black pasta with giant shrimp and a fish dish. Kids got pasta bolognaise with black pasta even though it was not in the menu, all separated indifferent bowls as we asked for. All delicious and just great. I say get here quickly if you are in the area. Recommended.

    What a wonderful evening and experience! After having had several unsuccessful attempts to find a decent non resort restaurant on the West Coast we happened upon this little family run gem. The venue is just across the road from the beach with a lovely cool deep terrace with tables. The waiters are super friendly and efficient, the Italian owner passionate and invested in the food her restaurant creates. With all that going for it, it is the food that steals the show, wonderfully traditional Italian food made special with the most delicious and fresh Mauritian ingredients. We enjoyed crispy Calamari with two home made dipping sauces, made in the lightest crispest coating and also the freshest lightest Tuna Carpaccio topped with lemon, olives and capers (cannot recommend enough) for mains we had the Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare pasta which is served in a generous bowl (needed to carry the huge portion of seafood - fresh razor clams, clams, mussels and Dorado), made with just a touch of fresh tomato to allow the seafood to shine! We also had a wonderful spaghetti with fresh fish, olives, tomatoes and capers (imagine a puttanesca but reimagined for lightness and freshness). Desserts were a incredibly good panacotta, so light with a lovely light wobble, but with a richness and flavour were incredible as well as a fabulous Tiramisu! They are closed on Mondays.

    Really tasty Italian food with the best service we have experience in a week in Mauritius. All their seafood is fresh, vegetarian options are plenty and there is also a good selection of wines. Pro tip: order some chanpagne and you get free limocello!

    Wonderful owner and a lovely selection of Italian food, including non-pasta dishes and great flavours that build upon local ingredients

    It is unique, it is great and it is delicious! We have been here twice and for sure we had have the best prepared piece of steak, pasta was amazing and wine was perfect. This restaurant is highest end of culinary on the island! This is must go and must taste place. Bravo

    A lot of nice words I have heard about this restaurant. I went there with a lot of enthusiasm and expectation of good food. Unfortunatelly, I was dissapointed. Maybe it wasn't best day of the kichten. My octopus with potatos and trufle sous was 50/50: potatos was very good, but the octopus was jelly. My wife ate pasta with fish for the main course and it was good, I ate pasta with beef. In my opinion beef was dry, it was fried/baked to long. Whole dish was nice, but I expected a lot more from such appriciated restaurant.
