Waiters were very pleasant and attentive. Food was good, my duck was deep fried which wasn't clear to me, not the best. My wife had fish which she really liked. We had a nice dinner, the view is really nice to. Would recommend going here.

The food was delicious. The view breathtaking, and if I'm ever there again as a senior, I'm coming again. Desserts are worth mentioning, too. I took a homemade cake - it was chocolate, and I don't know how they made it, but my tongue was in heaven. My friend ordered beef steak, and it was tender, juicy, and not too chewy, just perfect. PS. Great spot for sunsets and romantic dates!

Good food from an interesting menu, great views, and excellent service. And I'm going to have to go back for more from the menu. It was a chilly evening outside, but the location makes up for it. My friend had an Argentinian steak (not on the menu), and I had to go for the artichokes starter. Everything was made well, good produce, nicely presented. The staff was just great, which added to good overall experience. Yeah, I recommend, and I'll be back.

This is a fabulous gem tucked down a pretty fuschia lined approach, which opens into a slim dining room and a stepped terrace providing magnificent views across the white washed walls and terrcota rooftops of the hillside village. Its worth buying at least a coffee for the view. Service is smart, friendly helpful. The menu is big on sea food. We started with aubergines deep fried and laced with Frigliania's famous black honey. To follow we picked out hake, salmon and wild boar. Every dish beautifully presented, superbly flavoured. Great prices, calm, peaceful, on a sunny day it was divine. I will, I hope, be back. *** I have been back several times and Antonio & Carlos never disappoibt disappoint. Tonight was a gorgeous ajoblanco and the biggest cod steak with honey and spices, fabulous. And you can never fault the Frigiliana views. Just lovely.
