The service was great and the food was delicious. We had the pasta with mix seafood and tomatoes and the chefs surprise which was a lobster pasta. For dessert we had the Rum Babà. It's one of the most delicious desserts I've tasted. Bravo!

A cute little place below the shade of the trees, in front of the little harbor of Sperlonga . The perfect set up for eating a delicious pasta alle vongole (pasta with clams) some calamari allá lucia (squid with tomatoes, olives and pepper) and a cold glass of white wine. Don’t hesitate and go.

Beautifully positioned small restaurant right on the harbour. We asked for a table in the sun when reserving and they gave us one on the terrace facing the quaint harbour. The service was excellent. The staff always smiling and present, often coming back to ask us if everything was ok or if we needed anything else. The calamari alla Lucia were beautiful and tasty with bruschetta bread to dip in the sauce. The mixed fried fish (calamari, shrimp and anchovies) and mixed grilled fish (calamari, shrimp and white fish) were beautifully cooked. They did arrive on the colder side but they were still tasty and we ate it all. The mixed fried fish dish is very abundant!

Peaceful location and just round the corner from the more touristic restaurants, past the tower in the little port. The scialatielli scoglio, mixed fish grill and swordfish simply sublime! Yummy! To finish off a lovely lemon sorbet, lemon cheesecake with buffalo ricotta and caffe' Grazie @IlPorticciolo!

Wonderful little restaurant set in a natural environment overlooking the marina. Friendly, casual atmosphere. Went for lunch. Food was great, we had the mussels for starter, the mixed seafood grill and the swordfish as mains. All delicious. The staff were attentive, even the chef comes around to see how you’re doing! Our waiter, Raphaelle, gave us recommendations on the food and the wine. Prices also quite reasonable.
