A Must-Try Gem: Casa Neos If you’re looking for the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion, look no further than Casa Neos. This Mediterranean haven offers not only a great view but also exceptional service that makes you feel truly pampered. We celebrated our anniversary there and started our culinary journey with the sea bass carpaccio, which was an absolute delight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The highlight of our meal was the whole branzino, cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy flesh. Every dish we tried was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion for Mediterranean cuisine, and the portions were generous, leaving us fully satisfied. In summary, Casa Neos is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining in a beautiful setting. Thanks to the team for an unforgettable experience!

Incredibly unique dining experience. No signs. Have to go thru the bank see the dude sitting on a chair and go to the right. Two options ala carte or the tasting menu. The staff is knowledgeable and will guide you thru the menu. Bring money it’s not cheap but worth every penny.
