It was a pretty hot day and we took a seat outside in the back (or front...depends where you walk in). There were only a few tables...it was well after lunchtime, but luckily the kitchen still open. Service was nice and friendly, brought our dog some water even. Food took a while to arrive, but we were on vacation...so, no rush. We ordered two glasses of white wine, the Seafood Gnocchi and Pasta with Sea Snails. White wine was fine. The Gnocchi had just the right bite and the broth was really tasty. A good meal. The Pasta with Snails were also a good choice, maybe not for a seafood beginner, but my wife enjoyed it very much. Good pasta - good flavour. All in all this restaurant is a good choice. Not among the very top on this vacation, but still a very good choice. Prices were fair as well.

Forget Florence and Pisa and Montalcino and head south to where the coffee and bread are ten times better. This second story gem is down at sea level in the port of Pozzuoli, and I have eaten there about twenty times. Be advised: the menu is very, very limited. You can get a starter of octopus or a plate of olives. There are a couple of seafood pastas and risotto pescatore. Then you can get some fish or some fried calamari or shrimp. That's about it. But the guys who run the place are great, and I love to watch them interact with foreigners --- by which I mean anyone who lives more than ten miles away!! I first ate here in about 1986, and the young guy that was our waiter then was our waiter in April of this year, and one of the old cooks was still down in the kitchen. Don Antonio and his wife are long gone, but his son is still there every night it is open. I highly recommend this place for an adventurous eater, but don't go there and waste a table if you are wanting some sort of special fancy meal. This is where small groups of old friends go for good food in a simple setting.

I admit its more and more difficult to find them but it still happens. This specific evening I walked along the harbour of Gaeta. Passed by numerous restaurants until everything seemed to end in darkness. In this darkness I saw a light 100 meters further away. As I continued my search for a place to eat I heard voices and saw a sign in light; Mediterraneo. I was met with smiles and kindness. Ordered a Risotto Pescatore and a glass of wine while in conversation with the owner and other guests. The risotto was served and it was world class quality. Mediterraneo is part of this city´s history and tradition. It took pride in simplicity and grounding itself in the people living here. The restaurant closed and we all said good-bye and good night. Went back to my hotel happy to have confronted the darkness to find the light of restaurant Mediterraneo. You can try my experience when in Gaeta.

4.5 stars - You could easily pass Zi' Anna driving through Formia, especially heading northbound…read more Its waterside location; literally on the dock, adjacent to seafood businesses and parking, a short walk from the passenger ferry port, requires northbound drivers to head down to the rotary, turn around and access from the southbound road. There is ample covered outdoor seating, a large indoor dining room, and like many long-standing restaurants in this area, Zi' Anna employs professional wait staff, who see their role as your guide to the experience, and take that role seriously. That said, you won't be forgotten wherever you sit, and your server is the best resource for the perfect wine to pair with any of the delicious offerings on their relatively concise menu. You are in a fishing port, and you are there for expertly-prepared seafood. Start with the antipasto di mare, alici marinate or insalata di polpo. The gamberetti e rucola are also sublime. A pasta dish is a must here, and you can't go wrong with most - all of them prepared to a creamy level of refinement that in my opinion is taken for granted by locals. Staples: linguine agli scampi, risotto alla pescatora, schiaffoni alla Cardinale or with zucchini and gamberi. Portions are traditionally moderate, so you can have/share an antipasto, pasta dish and a second course. The fritto misto di mare is a classic, grigliata mista di pesce prepared to perfection, grilled baby calamari are perfectly tender. We live in NYC so perhaps our pricing expectations are skewed, but $10-12 for a plate of pasta this good is a bargain by us. Generally we are 5-7 people at dinner for a cost of under 200 euros. €30 pp average, including wine, for a meal at this level is hard to beat. We've been out to many meals in Formia and Zi' Anna is a go-to.

Tandem is amazing. We went to the original location for lunch without a reservation, and they told…read moreus that they were booked up, but that they had a second location a few blocks away that could likely accommodate us. They picked up the phone, made a call, and a table was secured. We walked over, and were immediately seated. The waiter brought a box of multiple shapes of pasta, explained what each was called, and which sauces were appropriate with each. We ended up ordering caprese salad (the freshest buffalo mozzarella we ever had), one pasta, and the bread loaf filled with meatballs and ragu. We were in heaven, and the portions were tremendous. We left stuffed, satisfied, and paid about 45 euros for the meal. Highly recommended!

But the staff was friendly and we were able to get a seat without too much of a wait. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars primarily because the offer something very unique. A vegetarian Ragu with seitan. This place is known for great ragu, which is meat based. But they offer a vegitarian version that was very good. I got a mushroom pasta dish that was very tatsy and filling. I could only eat half due to how filling it was. My wife got an Aperol spritz and I got an italian beer. If we were back in the area we'd likely stop back in to rty other options on their large menu.
