18/03/2024: Excellent location, bright and with various formulas for a Sunday lunch. The fish starters are good: marinated anchovies, mussels and clams soutè, potatoes and prawns, seafood salad and squid and cuttlefish tripe. The risotto with scampi cream is creamy, the seafood risotto delicate and the tuna fish with seafood are delicious. The fillet with green pepper and porcini mushrooms is soft but too creamy, while the hamburger has a strange consistency. How sweet, fresh and creamy are the San Giuseppe cream puffs and the baked or fried zeppole. Not all the wines on the list are available, we dined with a good Ribolla Gialla Formentini. The girl who served us was very helpful, quick and nice, but too alone for so many customers and this made the service slow and imprecise. The owner at the checkout was very friendly and during the bill he corrected some extra dishes on the receipt, but unfortunately only when leaving the restaurant did I also notice higher prices than those on the menu (e.g. a fillet €35 rather than €28).
4 years before... Sunday lunch, fish menu for 6 adults and 3 children. It does not have tables inside but only outside, under a warm open gazebo but with a cover that made the air particularly muggy. Unfortunately that day the two large fans were not working due to construction and lunch was quite demanding. As for the food, an ok goes to the raw materials whose prices could be in line, but sometimes the portions are not proportionate to the quantity-cost. The sautéed mussels with croutons and the seafood trio are good, however with too little sea and too many potatoes, cherry tomatoes and lettuce. The risotto with scampi cream is excellent and generous, the portion of fisherman's rice is tasty even if it is small, the spaghetti is rich in clams but quite tasty. The fried squid and prawns are crunchy, the paranza is nice and golden and a little expensive and the grilled one consisting of a tender fish, two prawns and a squid is appetising. We dined with white Pecorino and obviously ice water to seek a bit of refreshment galore. The staff were very courteous, both the owner Stefano, the waiter Paolo and the girl at the checkout Giada ready to give us a discount. Cover charge is also paid for children. It certainly takes some time to become a recommendable place, but I'm on the right track.
17/03/2024: Good restaurant overlooking the central square of Ladispoli. Totally renovated with beautiful sliding glass verandas. Very friendly and helpful waiters.
It offers different types of fixed menus: from €15/20/25
Fresh fish and good quality cuisine.
Good wine list, some even with excellent value for money.
The seafood appetizer was not entirely fresh and had an unconvincing flavor, as well as a very yellowish color. Delicious mussel soup. First, tonnarelli alla scoglio, really good and in the right quantity.
Second course, mixed grill. Very good fresh prawns, but a little low in quantity.
I'm sure they will fix these little inconveniences soon. It is definitely a restaurant worth trying again, perhaps with fixed menus, which also save money.
Parking in the area not very difficult to find.
Thank you, see you soon.
