As its Italian name suggests, you will only find fish plates – it literally means “like the sea” –. It is situated in a suggestive fisherman’s village, about 500 mt from the historical centre of the city. Being fortunate enough to go there last summer, I decided to book a table for me and my family (four of us) curious about the tempting smell of cooked fish and the endless queue outside the restaurant. As you enter the place you are welcomed by a nice setting: it has been built in a way to resemble an ancient ship. In addiction, your attention will surely be captured by magnificent flowers and plants placed on the borders. You should always book before arriving there, unless you are definetely going to join the long queue mentioned before: on weekends the average waiting time could touch a minimum of one hour! All the products were fresh and the dishes had the warmth of home-made food. The chefs take great care in selecting the best quality ingredients. The recipes are not elaborated, yet they come from local cuisine. The restaurant also provides a large selection of tasty white wines, which will not empty your wallet. The service was absent. Literally. We were told about this charcteristic, therefore we were not surprised at all. When you are ready to order your meal, you simply write your name on the menu and then a speaker will invite you to pick it up. In my opinion, this is not a drawback, instead it impacts your bill in a positive way! Anyway it has to be said that some of you may not accept this type of service and it is completely understandable. Taking everything into account, we all agreed on having a pleasant dining experience with high quality fresh food and a warm atmosphere. Everyone who is coming to Gaeta should put it on his “to do list” before leaving. Raffaele Romano

The only criticism I had was that it nearly all fried food, but what started as a takeaway a few years ago is now a resounding success. Just get there early.
