Our Guestbook
“ The place is very nice, in an area a little further away from the seafront but not far away. The food was excellent, the only flaw if I may say so... We had asked for a fruit salad but the waitress said it wasn't possible to make it because the place was full and she couldn't make it. ”
“ Quarto Platano is a large, clean place with a very relaxing atmosphere. It's very popular for breakfast, lunch, aperitifs, and dinner. The buffet offers everything and more. The staff is very kind and welcoming. For dinner, we had pizza because we were in a rush because we had to get back to work right away. Thanks to that hour spent there, we relaxed and will return when we have free time to enjoy a nice aperitif and dinner under the shade of the plane trees. I'd say it's a good value for money. ”

“ Lovely local restaurant. Unpretentious, good plain food. My wife had an excellent risotto, my daughter a lovely dish of octopus - succulent and flavourful, not at all rubbery - and I had roast suckling pig which melted in the mouth. Tiramisu to follow, of course! Jacqui, who served us, was friendly, charming and attentive. We shall be back! ”
