About
This small thatch-roof place looks as if it might fall down with the first stiff wind. This is probably more bar than restaurant, but they serve good food. Grab one of the several tables, or sit at the bamboo bar. The main offerings include a range of pizzas and pastas, which are well prepared, although they wouldn't wow anyone in Naples or Rome. You can also get a thick steak or grilled chicken. The signature appetizer here is the sautéed frogs' legs, which are almost as much of a novelty as the owner's long handlebar mustache.
