An Italian restaurant run by the Sassi couple, originally from Abruzzo, with a corner terrace and sea views. It is famous for its chilli mud crab.
Located on the corner of Macrossan Street at No. 4, run by well-known local restaurateurs Tony and Di Sassi. Tony was born in Abruzzo, Italy. The menu is traditional Italian with light adaptations suited to the tropical climate. Tourism Port Douglas names the chilli mud crab as its signature dish. Reviews often mention the clam linguine, squid ink linguine and whole chicken. The restaurant also serves wood-fired pizza, and its bar cocktails are well received.
