This seems to be the latest hot spot in Arezzo. The menu is small, including just a few fish selections and a few non-fish items, as well as a list of pizzas, but the emphasis here is definitely on the fish. Be careful to specify...the quantity of food you want, or you will end up with too much. Portions are more than generous.
Our group of four started with a plate of fresh oysters, which were nothing special compared with offerings in New England or Brittany. Then we shared two paccheri all’astice, with reduced portions of the pasta. Most of the lobster meat was incorporated into a rich tomato-based sauce, which tasted wonderful with the al dente pasta. Then came a big piece of tuna for two of us and a big piece of swordfish for the other two. The tuna could hardly have been better, cooked gently and pink inside (as the menu specifies). I don’t know about the swordfish, but it looked beautiful.
We didn’t quite finish all the food and could not consider a dolce. A bottle of Franciacorta Brut accompanied everything perfectly.
We will be back, especially to try the spaghetti alle vongole and the pizzas.More
