Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In "escape" from Rome for a short holiday in Ponza we chose this restaurant where we encountered the quality of the raw materials, the expert cuisine and the super attentive and sweet owner Luigina who advised us and pampered us with all the staff of the restaurant for three unforgettable evenings. Super recommended… see you soon!!!

Dinner with friends and spaghetti with gluten-free seafood to remember for the true flavor of the ingredients. Excellent pistachio semifreddo. The same goes for what the other diners remembered. The owner puts you at ease telling you with passion about the various dishes and the courteous and professional staff helps to make your evening very pleasant. Great value for money for Ponza. Highly recommended

Very good food and excellent quality fish. We ordered two first gnocchi and trofie, the latter highly recommended. They offered us a local wine that we really appreciated. Really friendly and professional staff. Prices are slightly high but in line with what is found in other places on the island.
In conclusion, excellent experience

Let's start our holiday in Ponza starting from one of the most popular restaurants.
The experience was overall negative, with some positive notes (but not enough to justify a rating higher than 2 stars).
The innkeeper was very kind, the other staff were terrible: when asked what the typical Ponzese dish was, the waitress replied, with an unpatient air, that the traditional dish is fresh fish (the next day we learned that there is lentils, grass peas, tiella, Ponzese rabbit).
We order an appetizer and two first courses:
- as an appetizer "tuna alla ponzese", which we discover is tuna in oil seasoned with a few olives, two cherry tomatoes and some rocket (cost 21 euros). From a dish sold at this price one would expect something more, in terms of accompaniment (I'm thinking of a bruschetta, a sauce); This price is unacceptable for such a poor dish, which can easily be prepared at home in 3-4 minutes.
- gnocchi, seafood, mushrooms, shrimp and pecorino: a super dish, costing around 24 euros, and worth every penny. Really delicious, the only positive note of the evening. Unexpected but very tasty combinations.
- trofie, courgettes, scampi and mussels: here is the note that is an understatement to define as painful. For a cost of around 24 euros, a dish that was a real mess: courgettes barely boiled, totally tasteless (we expected them fried), the mussels were perhaps cosplays that didn't make it, also tasteless, the trofie totally unrelated to the rest of the ingredients (and rightly I would say, I would have rebelled too), the only good flavor is that of the scampi, unfortunately only one (the others will have slipped away out of shame).
I wondered how the genius who had prepared the previous dish could have produced this disgrace (perhaps there are two chefs, the disparity between the two dishes really cannot be explained).
We preferred not to have dessert, after the shock of the trofie. A restaurant with good potential, but where something isn't working.
I wouldn't go back.

Eccomi qua... aimè a rispondere a recensioni assurde come la sua ma devo!
Grazie di aver aperto un profilo, fresco fresco piĂą del "pesce fresco" di cui parlava la mia dipendente, grazie per il tempo che mi ha dedicato, mi creda ne sono lusingata ma non basta a sorprendermi, dopo trent'anni di lavoro qui al porticciolo ne ho viste e sentite tante.
Non si illuda Sig. Daniele in realtà non sto rispondendo a lei, ma siamo ad agosto e voglio chiarire un pochino di cose ai nuovi ospiti che verranno. Non voglio al mio ristorante gente come lei che a tavola dice tutto bene e poi con tanta rabbia sputa veleno, non di certo qui da me, dove dall'inizio alla fine c'è un massimo rispetto per i nostri ospiti e quindi esigo lo stesso rispetto a tavola, anche quando qualcosa non lascia soddisfatti. Farò delle precisazioni però a riguardo della sua recensione doverose.
Sarò rapida ed esaustiva:
*i nostri primi costano 23 euro e non 24
*Il tonno sott' olio che lei dice che può fare a casa in tre minuti se lo sogna! E' una delle cose più ricercate e tradizionali di ponza, si documenti!
* la tiella è un piatto tipico di Gaeta
* il coniglio è un piatto tipico Ischitano
* le lenticchie sono un piatto tradizionale di Ventotene
* cicerchie e legumi vari non sono piatti tradizionali ma sono prodotti che un tempo venivano coltivati, ormai non si producono piĂą o quasi piĂą, sono la figlia di Giovanna, una delle piĂą grandi contadine esistite a Ponza e per favore su questo fatemi largo!
Ne avesse detta una giusta!La sua fonte delle news "piatti tradizionali ponzesi" dovrebbe vergognarsi a braccetto con lei.
E veramente qui mi taccio!
Sono tanto felice di non esservi piaciuta perché non voglio piacere a chi tace a tavola e poi va via e scrive. Meno rabbia più amore.
Benvenuto agosto, nonostante il tempo brutto e benvenuta a tutta la gente che vuole sorridere e fare vacanza. Per tutti gli altri evitateci, siamo cari, scortesi ed abbiamo un pessimo cuoco o forse due:)buona vita e buona estate

First menu only accessible via QR code. By the time you settled down and discovered the menu you said the water and bread table. Too late you're in an appendage lookout and you discover prohibitive Awards. A plate of spaghetti with a few mussels and 3 shrimp , a plate of gnocchi with mushrooms and always three tiny shrimp (the Normandy gray shrimp are bigger) , a bottle of water: 60 euros. Very greasy cooking it bathes in oil probably to slide the bill. On the strength of this disappointment we went to eat our secondi plati 150 meters or we feasted on an excellent fish
Conclusion to be avoided

Me ne sono capitati di clienti maleducati ma lei li batte tutti. Mi dispiace che il mio adorato popolo Francese abbia un cittadino come lei! Scostante dal primo istante, con la sua dolcissima Signora che provava continuamente ed inutilmente a calmarla...e per cosa? Semplicemente perché abbiamo solo il qr code per sfogliare il menù! Non le sembra eccessivo? Dovrei imparare a mandar via subito dal mio ristorante dei clienti così maleducati come lei e lei invece dovrebbe imparare a chiedere prima di accomodarsi se un locale ha il suo adorato menù cartaceo! Poi dico...trovava così complicato sfogliare un menù digitale, però la pazienza di lasciare 1039 recensioni lo ha tranquillamente?!? Un controsenso incredibile!Beh si vergogni, si vergogni e si vergogni e non è un errore di digitazione, l'ho scritto tre volte per sottolineare quanto mi ha infastidito! Lei è veramente è il cliente che nessuno vorrebbe mai incontrare e che sfortunatamente in una sera tranquilla di settembre, tra tanti ristoranti è capitato proprio a me. Sul giudizio dei miei piatti poi "la sua opinione conta quanto il due di coppe con la briscola a bartolini" Se non ha capito il significato della frase tra virgolette per noi italiani è un modo di dire... che significa:
Che la sua opinione conta esattamente ZERO! Comunque ha vinto lei, dopo trent'anni che sono qua al porticciolo sinceramente, lei è quello che mi ha fatto perdere veramente la pazienza!
P.S. non abbiamo menĂą cartaceo ma abbiamo tanto cuore e gentilezza, quello che non ha lei! Spero di non rivederla mai piĂą
Pace e Amore sempre

Restaurant full of atmosphere led by true enthusiasts. Delicious cuisine linked to tradition also of wines, medium / rich portions. Marinated anchovies tasty but I can define crazy scialatielli with pecorino cheese. Another positive side: the glass of wine was poured in two steps to prevent it from heating up. Fair price. Thanks to Luigina and Federica, we will be back to visit you

The dishes are very well cooked but not cheap, the setting is nice, however the staff is unfriendly. The first evening the waitresses wanted to seat us at a table that didn't suit us even though there was no one there yet, but seeing that we were leaving they ended up accepting. One of the waitresses was unpleasant, her smile tight. The next day, we still wanted to go back, but with the same scenario, we left. On the other hand, when it is people they know, their behavior is completely different. This is not the only restaurant on the island!

Top Recommendation for Ponza.
Great food on the first evening and on the 3rd. Hello again, excellent again!
Starter Tuna-Gambas tartare, spaghetti seafood or fish and finally Tiramisu semifreddo etc, all super delicious.
Also very sympathetic boss (with daughter) and attentive team, you feel very taken care of in this restaurant.
Complimenti e grazie per due serate indimenticabili❤️

The restaurant is located exactly in front of a corner of the beautiful port and never disappoints: over the years we have tried it several times and it has never disappointed us. The staff is really kind and competent and advises affably in the choice of dishes. The menu offering is varied and always renewed; the fish is certainly first choice and is exquisite; the desserts are also excellent. High prices, but adequate for the high quality (and in Ponza, certainly not known for its cheapness, at least at a certain level). We will definitely come back next time. In our opinion, the (few) tables "on" the port are preferable.

We had dinner at "il marina" by chance, booking in advance. We were really thrilled. The owner of unique kindness and competence. He made us taste the dishes offered before eating them, only with the description of the excellent raw materials used. He let us taste the real Ponzese wine, a nectar. We had such a good time that we returned the following evening too. Sincere congratulations! Furthermore, it is in a spectacular location.

Elegant but sober location in one of the most beautiful points of the island. Owner prepared and very kind with always attentive staff, nice but never intrusive. From excellent local raw material the chef elaborates dishes of great quality, never forced or effect but loaded and guardians of flavors that the sea gives us. Rich menu and among the most varied on the island. Excellent cellar. Absolutely balanced value for money. Da non perdere!!!!!

Spectacular view, the maximum refinement of the product and service together with the ability to tell the cuisine and the story of each dish
Excellent mussel soute, spaghetti with delicate graensola and fresh fish (sea bream) with potatoes from Ponza. Great!

We chose this restaurant on the port for a somewhat special occasion for us... We were favorably impressed by the good cuisine. Paccheri with super seafood flavour, an excellent crudité
A perfect baked sea bream with potatoes.
Wonderful cassata. Perfect service.
5 stars really deserved. Thank you

Beautiful evening,
Luigina, an excellent, attentive and very kind hostess,
applause to Mrs Stefany who created the best fish tartare I have ever tasted.
Everything was excellent and very fresh from starters to desserts.
In the 5 days spent in Ponza; The marina is undoubtedly the restaurant where we ate best.
Greetings to all the staff.
