This is a very engaging and ideally situated Italian Restaurant. In fact, I think it's the only Italian restaurant on the island. A warm welcome from lovely people and the food's excellent if a little pricy though. Situated right on the beach it the perfect place to watch the sun set.

The owner was very friendly and had great stories to relate regarding Pavarotti and his visit to Sandy Lane. Food very good especially the Gaspaccio? [rare beef in a balsamic dressing]

Without hesitation Adrian indicated there was NO TIP included, only to come home and review the bill in a lighted environment to find tat infact... More

The veal medallions tasted good but I have never seen anything presented that badly in my life... I can't tell you what it looked like but we... More

Our second visit this trip and our first ever visit whilst in Barbados. Why have we never been before? This place opened in 1995! Not overly crowded with tables, on the beach and very comfortable. Owner managed and run by an Italian family who make the pasta. I asked for a dish not on the menu and it was produced... More
