When we where at the Meditour exhibition at the excellent Medina complex on the final day we decided to go for a meal together to sign off and given that we where in Yasmine we chose a restaurant there.

Given that this was during a quiet period of the year we looked for something small and comfortable/child friendly for me, Hajer, Ramzi, Samar (my niece) and Sara. Located opposite the Mehari hotel on the front line of Yasmine Hammamet the Don Piccio restaurant faces the beach in an excellent position and I would think that during the day you could enjoy a great view as the restaurant is on the first floor facing the beach.

As for the restaurant itself it is light comfortable and has booth seating which I like as it allows me to have Sarah sitting next to me so she can have some freedom. The staff where friendly and efficient and did not mind that we had Sara and Samar with us causing a racket and jumping about (to be fair the restaurant was quiet).

As for the Menu the selection was Italian dishes many of which seemed authentic and the prices reflected this and the restaurants location with Pizzas starting at 10 Dinars + and other dishes at 10-20 dinars. Also note that they have pork in this restaurant which is either a good thing or if your like us something that limits your choice however I am sure that it tastes better than turkey alternatives and also reflects the authentic feel of the menu.

As I am getting a bit fat I asked for a salad (not on the menu) for 13 dinars and Hajer went for the Margarita PIzza being the culinary adventurer that she is. Both came in good time and the salad especially was impressive (as it should be for 13 dinars) and I can safely say it was the best salad i have had in Tunisia so far!

Summary

A nice restaurant in a good position it is a simple affair inside and comfortable. Excellent salad and good service = good night for those who came I would come again however it is not the cheapest but considering the position and location within Yasmine Hammamet it is understandable.
