"even if we were in the area, we had never eaten in this restaurant. great mistake, how you really eat very well! we took mixed appetizers, among which we loved ravioli and vegetarian involtini, and the Thai pad, one of the most typical dishes of this kitchen. was one of the best I ever had in a restaurant, a mix of perfectly balanced flavors. Good and special sweets. we will be back soon to try more dishes. very kind maid and friendly owner, great service."

"Looking for a simple place to eat after a long drive from Milan and this place jumped out from the rest. Really great pizza! We had the 4 section pizza which was served whole on a massive cutting board and we were left to do the cutting. The pizza looked a bit overwhelming but on tasting, it was amazingly light and scrumptious. We shared a bottle of mineral water and a half litre of the house red. The lovely senora serving us wouldn't let us go without trying the homemade tiramasu; thank goodnes as it was superb. We were the only ones there for a while, apart from the continual stream for takeaways but more came in for seating later on. Pizza was EU15, water EU2, coffee EU1 and desert EU4."

"restaurant on the water at mouth of lean. breathtaking views at night, the whole area is illuminated by the lights of the boats and the marinas. out of season there are no outdoor tables, but the interior room has glazed on all sides and the quiet around is worth points. excellent food and well presented, high quality ingredients and attentive staff. It is not a cheap place, but the account is in line with the level of the local. as I let it mean, for my goi almost better in winter than in summer."

Da Fiorella

"L’Osteria “Da Fiorella” è locale tipico situato nell’antico antico borgo di Nicola. La location è ammirevole, sia l’interno che presenta un ambiente spazioso e moderno, sia l’esterno dove vi sono dei tavolini che offrono una vista panoramica meravigliosa della Lunigiana. Il menù è composto da una selezione di piatti tipici rivisitati e risulta variegato in quanto offre sia piatti di carne che piatti di pesce. Per iniziare noi abbiamo preso un antipasto della casa e un bis di panigacci da dividere in due e siamo rimaste molto soddisfatte di entrambi i piatti. L’antipasto della casa è sfizioso pur non appesantendo e il bis di panigacci offre dei panigacci sottili l’uno ripieno di olio e parmigiano (l’olio buono! e l’altro ripieno del tipico pesto alla genovese. Come secondo ho avuto il piacere di provare il filetto di maiale con salsa allo zafferano e composta di mele. Piatto fenomenale, ho apprezzato molto la rivisitazione della tradizione in questi sapori dolci e sfiziosi. Il maiale era tenero, lo zafferano si sentiva bene con il suo tipico sapore e la composta di mele si abbinava perfettamente agli altri due ingredienti, non risultando troppo dolce in quanto veniva equilibrata con delle spezie. La persona che mi accompagnava ha preso la lingua di vitello come se fosse tonnato, al palato risultava morbida e saporita, dunque anche questo un ottimo piatto. Una nota speciale va al pane e alla focaccia che ci hanno portato nell’attesa: croccanti e saporiti, un pezzo tira l’altro. I camerieri sono cordiali e disponibili e il conto è più che appropriato sia per la vista unica che il locale offre sia per i piatti che abbiamo mangiato. In due con 1 antipasto della casa, 1 bis di panigacci, 1 filetto di maiale con salsa allo zafferano e composta di mele, 1 lingua di vitello come se fosse tonnato, 1 bottiglia di acqua e 1/4 di vino frizzante della casa abbiamo speso €52. Al termine del vostro pasto vi consiglio di fare due passi nel borgo di Nicola, dove si può vedere quel l’Italia immacolata dei tempi andati. Ottima esperienza, la consiglio a tutti"

"An Italian friend of mine had raved about this restaurant, so I said to let me know the next time she went. So on a Saturday evening 10 of us went to El Rey to eat. The place was decorated very nicely, bright colours and with very cheerful and efficient staff. The menu offered a relatively wide range of dishes. The resturant was much larger than I had expected from the little pub area outside. So far, so good. Then I ordered a Margarita. Hmmmm...perhaps the worst one I have ever had, it tasted like it had been made from some industrial powder pre-mix, just sour and strong. Maybe it is hard to get fresh ripe limes here in Italy. I didn't order another. On to the food. I ordered guacamole and enchaladas verdes. Hmmmm...not that they were bad as such, but both seemed to indicate that they had been prepared some time ago. I am a real guacamole freak, love the stuff. But although there was a large portion served, and with lots of chips (that did look home-made , the taste was not very exciting, any lime or spices were hardly detectable and the whole thing just seemed very bland and as if it had been made a good while before serving (also indicated by the colour of the avocado puré . Edible, but not the real pleasure that I get when making guacamole myself at home. Likewise with the enchaladas. The main flavour was salt, other spices were either absent or masked by the salt (which could have been better used in the guacamole . The dish appeared as a somewhat soggy, bland (but salty mass that had been prepared a long time earlier and re-heated. Our group was drinking beer by the pitcher, which maybe was OK, but with all the great microbreweries around these days, I don't drink much major brand beer anymore. However, it seemed to go down well with the others, so I guess I shouldn't fault it. If I had been alone, I would have tried one of the Mexican beers, there were a good number on offer. All in all, not a very exciting experience. Edible, but a far cry from the real thing. Even the other dishes that I sampled from my friends were only just OK. Maybe the problem is that the place is just too big, and it is very difficult to serve freshly-made food when there are crowds. Maybe the experience would be different on a normal weekday evening instead of on a crowded Saturday. But I am not sure I am inspired to try it again..."
