This review is slightly delayed, because I was in Italy a week ago, but for all the Yelp users in…read moreAnzio, I wanted to leave some good recs. This was the first restaurant I dined at in Anzio, and the first meal I had after my flight. You can imagine how hungry I was !!! I highly recommend this restaurant. My aunt, uncle, and I do not speak Italian, but there were several servers who attended to us who knew English! Our server explained the menu, and once he asked us if we preferred fish/seafood or meat, he provided us with his recommendations for dishes. I ordered a tortello (stuffed with a cheese and seafood mixture). It was so tasty, and the pasta was definitely made fresh. My uncle ordered the seafood carbonara, which was an interesting take on the classic carbonara. It also used paccheri pasta rather than spaghetti. He reported that it wasn't his favorite carbonara he had, but it was still fantastic. My aunt got a salad, which we all shared, and chicken meatballs. The chicken meatballs were FANTASTIC and a must order. They came breaded, with a crispy outside, but were so juicy and tasty on the inside. The meatballs are placed on a maiz-based cream, topped with saffron. SOO GOOD!!! When we were ready for dessert, another server came over and shared the dessert options. We ordered tiramisu, which was perfect to share and end the meal. I really appreciated the servers who gave detailed recommendations, were patient when communicating with us. Overall I've found that many people in Anzio, due to tourism, speak at least some English, and everyone has been super friendly!

It's this vibe that permeates every aspect of the restaurant. Locals are all there, and talking together, and with Giuseppe and his family. It is the furthest thing from a sterile and cold place. The food was really great. As a vegan, I was a little worried! But I told the server, and they modified the linguine with turnip tops for me and it was AWESOME. My wife had the seafood tartare antipasti and she loved it. Giuseppe recommended the homemade pasta with clams and muscles; she loved it. She said it was unlike any other shellfish dish she has had. American visitors, make sure to go here. If you're staying in Rome, make the 45 minute drive to Anzio and have a nice dinner here. It's right on the water and just amazing.

Stumbled upon an Anzio gem. Just outside the busier area by the docks. Great service, excellent…read morefresh seafood, right off the ocean . . can't ask for more. Started with the €20 antipasta which I regrettably shared. 12 finely crafted and presented dishes both warm and cold (crudo) ranging from a fried Bacala (cod) on a chickpea purée, a beautiful eggplant parmigiana, cous cous with calamari ...... salmon cheesecake. Amazing! Problem with the antipasta we enjoyed it so thoroughly I didn't have a chance for photos. Oh well. The mains ranged from a beautifully creamy risotto with gamberi an awesome grigliata mista (lobster, calamari, gamberi, spigola). An amazingly generous amount of lightly fried gamberi (pic). No room for dessert. That's ok. Will definitely return.
