A fab establishment, terrific choice of food, especially if you are Gluten intolerant (Coeliac). You are paying for quality here, €40-50 per person with an excellent bottle of vino, so not a cheap establishment compared to other restaurants in the area. Booking is essential, as on leaving the premises at 9-30pm, there was a queue of about 20 people waiting to enter on a Monday evening.

First of All thank you for the nice Dinner, Adam. We were a group of 6. Sadly we had no reservation because the number we typed somehow didn't work. Inside was completly booked out. We headed there because of a recommendation of Fabrizio whom we met earlier in our holidays. We wanted to eat fish and our waiter Adam guided us through the menue. Everything her recommended was very delicious. We had variatys of fish as a starter and continiued with the mixed fish plate of the house, guided by there very good vino bianco. At this point i am confinced everything Adam gives to us is just delicious. We continiued with 5 Desserts and another Fried calamary. Overall the experiece at Cantina Don Carlo was by far the best we had in our holidays.
