We stayed in Sperlonga a couple of days. We've been in Sperlonga before, but not in this restaurant…read more(just rented some umbrellas and chairs with them before). Because it has a great location at the ocean and the menu looked good we chose this place. A good choice. Came here on all of our five nights in town. We stayed in an apartement not far away, so we didn't need a parking lot. An easy stroll there and back. There is an indoor section (one below deck, one on top) and lots of tables on the lawn. Since we had our Bulldog with (who was very welcome here) we took a table on the lawn. Always got a table, expect on saturday. But then they brought an extra table from downstairs just for us. How nice is that. The menu has something for everybody, as well as some daily special on the chalk board by the entrance. Some of the items we've had: - Seafood Spaghetti w/ Lobster - Seafood Risotto - Steamed Mussels - Seafood Antipasti Platter - Baby Octopus Stew - Mixed Fried Seafood - Spaghetti Vongole - Pizza Biancho (Speck, Potatoes, Mushrooms) - Slized Beef Steak w/ Salad - Pasta Vongole w/ creamy sauce - Frittura Italiana They know how to cook here. Quality-wise all items were of high quality, seafood and fish fresh. Cooked to perfection and tender. Pasta always al dente. Presentation nice, size very good. Sometimes couldn't even finish it. The Seafood Spaghetti is a fantastic meal. Ok, with a bit over 30 Euros on the pricier side, but oh so good. Nothing short of amazing also the baby octopus stew. Not easy to find and for just 10 Euros a steal. The Pasta with the creamy Vongole sauce was also very very tasty. Homemade noodles....but very very heavy and filling. If you go for that, don't order a starter. The Frittura Italiana is a well priced item and it's not on the official menu. It's a starter, but easy feeds four (for a starter) or two (for a main). It's all deep fried. Try it, many locals order it. We mostly had a bottle of white wine, one time Rosé. Always served in a nice wine cooler by the table. If you order White, then try the Fiano. Amazing Wine. Really loved our dinners here. Not the very cheapest. But worth the money. Great location, wonderful staff, lovely food. We'll be back one day.

It's often hard to live up to the hype and expectations of being the prior and current year number…read more1 pizza place in the world. People come in with lofty expectations of being blown away by the pizza, and while most if the pizza we tried was well above average, nerveless a gap existed to my expectations. The staff were great given the massive number of people that make pilgrimage to this place and the months in advance needed to get a booking during prime season. The Capriccisita pizza as described in my attached photo was mind blowing which overpowered the other pizzas we ordered. Friendly efficient staff. Figuring out the registration of your reservation prior to entry was a little tricky and chaotic but it eventually worked out fine. Tonight though, in my opinion the crust was not best in class. I found it to be excessively doughy around the edges and soggy in the bottom. Without a great crust as a base any great pizza is doomed to underperform. I will try the world nbr 2 ranked pizza place in the world, Una Pizza Neopolitana,, also owned by the same group, when I'm back in New York to see how their crust performs. Regardless, it was a worthwhile visit.

If you're at the beach in Sperlonga and don't want to spend a fortune for lunch at a restaurant, or…read morebuy a bad sandwich at the beach kiosk, then this is the place for you. Pizza Mania has recently changed management, but fortunately the quality has stayed good as well as the friendly service. It is a "pizza al taglio", which means you choose the pizza you like and they cut as much as you like, then you pay by weight. Always a good selection of flavors to choose from, as well as some appetizers like supplì (fried rice balls), croquettes, and so on.

Sperlonga is a…read morelovely beach town with lots of italian tourists and a bunch of international ones (mostly coming straight from Rome for a day-trip). Maybe that's the reason you still find good food here. This place is right on the main drag of town, paralleling the beach, so it's easy to find. The menu is very big, so there's something for everybody. Pizze looked real good on other tables but we chose some other items on the two lunches we visited here. We had the fried seafood platter with fresh and tasty calamari, shrimp and anchovies. Then the seafood spaghetti with vongole and pulpo. And they didn't cut short on the seafood. Good stuff! Beer was nice and cold. On the other day we went for the cozze (mussels) and vongole spaghetti (a real treat again) and penne with cream, speck (bacon) and red radicchio. Penne didn't look special, but tasted amazing. A nice mix of heavy cream, meat and veggies. But for temperatures of around 100°F a bit heavy :) Service was very friendly as well. Owner even gave us some discount on the second visit....just like that. Our dog was welcome as well. Prices were - given the location - fair enough. A bit higher than on the countryside, but far from expensive like in Rome or Florence. A great choice - recommended!

We were early so there were only a few people there.

There was plenty of it, having a nice crunchy breading. The calamari was tender and not chewy at all - it really was a large order in size! We had a Forte and Margherita pizza. Oh!! And yeah!!!

Ah, found it! If you…read morepeep the photos, you'll see lots of smiling people enjoying beautiful Italian weather, the island of Ischia, fresh seafood, all the goodness. We visited in November. We were lucky to find them open. They were cooking up delivery pizza, and they welcomed us inside, we were the only guests. The owner was kind, I ordered an amaro, we were told the menu was limited to pizza, that day. Well, we'd heard a thing or two about the Italian's pizza expertise, so we went for it, our first -- and one of the most memorable -- pizza sessions of our stay, on or off the mainland. This is just my take, but seems to me most Italian restaurants get the whole Napolitan recipe right. The secret to marvelous pie is forking into the whole thing as soon as it comes outta the oven, like, as close to burn-your-tongue as possible. And I'm pretty sure the owner was extra attentive to the random American stragglers who wandered into his place in November. He wowed us. Unforgettable.
