    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!

    We came in one night for dinner while staying nearby in Naples. The place is small so seating can…read moretalk a little while. 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.

    My mom and I accidentally discovered Trattoria Da Emilia while roaming the charming streets of…read moreSorrento back in June and what a find it was! Not only was it a wonderful surprise to end up dining right by the water, but even with a line out front, we somehow got incredibly lucky and were seated on the patio completely by chance. I noticed what looked like the owner (or perhaps the general manager) walking around, checking on guests, and helping with service, which added such a warm, authentic touch. Like many restaurants by the water in Italy, the seafood here is incredibly fresh ~ and this place is no exception. We ordered the seafood platter, grilled vegetables, and ravioli with marinara sauce. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, right down to the bread. We also enjoyed some Prosecco, which paired perfectly with the meal. The view was stunning, and the whole restaurant buzzed with lively, happy energy. I would definitely return ~ not only because it was surprisingly affordable, but also because restaurants like this, with their true authenticity and old-world charm, are my favorite. One small note: the bathroom is on the second floor, so if you're older or have mobility issues, just keep in mind there's a set of stairs to climb. But that's very common across Western Europe. Fun fact: This beautiful little spot in Marina Grande has some real cinematic history. Sofia Loren and Vittorio De Sica, while in Sorrento filming Dino Risi's famous 1954 movie "Pane, amore e..." (Bread, Love, and...), actually sat at the tables of Trattoria Emilia. How amazing is that?

    The food was AWFUL! The server recommended The Clam Gnocchi, which was hard (not al dente) - like…read morefrozen out of a box, 5 clams & thin zero flavor jar sauce. Service & ambiance nice. Wasted an evening when I could have had great food.
