Grilled Calamari
Tender grilled calamari served with two distinct sauces, offering a great flavor contrast.
"For the appetizer, I had the grilled calamari. It was perfectly tender and came with two sauces: one layered beneath the squid and another served on the side, both adding great flavor contrast."
