    The restaurant is so charming and beautiful! Best pizza I ever eat. Julia made sure to make us comfortable and even fixed a couple of other reservations we had with this group. We are so happy with the service!

    We were seated next to 3 speakers & asked to move away from them. They didn’t move us, but changed the music to a bit quieter, we think. They didn’t communicate about that. They did comp our salad since I said the avocados were hard when asked how the salad was. They brought us a sweet anniversary dessert which was much appreciated. Had to ask multiple times for the bill, though:-/. Rest of the food was very good/well prepared/cooked!

    A wonderful evening to celebrate a birthday. Amazing views over the bay, very good Sicilian rose wine, delicious seafood starters and beautifully prepared t-bone steak. All of the staff were courteous and efficient, but they were also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Anciovi!

    Loved this place. Beautiful views from the San Domenico. Gorgeous hotel. Linguini with langosta was excellent. Due to our reservation, was able to then enjoy a cocktail at the main bar inside the inner courtyard of the hotel. Must book far in advance.
