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.

It's been years now (more than 10) that I've known this restaurant in Ponza and every time I always relive the same emotion as the first time, when I met Davide and his family for the first time: superior quality food, worthy of a true island restaurant, dishes prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, prepared with love and tradition, the true Ponzese tradition. The guys are all very kind, the kitchen is open at the entrance to the restaurant, the price is average for restaurants in Ponza, indeed perhaps slightly cheaper than those in the port. The quality well above average. If you want to taste real traditional cuisine, an experience at Così com'era is a must, or you can't say you've truly experienced Ponza.

It is worth coming to eat at this place, away from the city and tourist chaos. Atmosphere that smells like home, menu on blackboard based on fish, exquisite waitstaff (especially the guy who served us). We had fried octopus on cream potatoes and caramelized onions and a half pacchero with cheese and squid to start. Spectacular both: octopus so delicate that melted in the mouth and together with the cream of potatoes and onion released an explosion of flavors, pasta seasoned very well with cheese and balanced squid, the latter fresh. We then took a mixed grill consisting of a slice of tuna, one of swordfish, and a cuttlefish. The fish was fresh and delicious. We ended with a slice of cake with ricotta, chocolate chips, figs and scary nuts! At the time of the bill we really appreciated that the dessert was offered to us. Highly recommended!

Simple place in the structure , but refined for taste , scents and hospitality . Off the beaten track, without the panoramic view of the island, you go for the awareness of eating well. All less than zero km , simple ingredients used with skill and elegance (mostly caught by them or , for vegetables , grown by them ). We savored a taste and aromas that honestly we had not experienced for a long time . The excellent fish but we were enraptured by the goodness of the vegetable garden. Very kind staff and the owner exquisite and humble person who spares no stories and anecdotes of food related to the island. In Ponza we ate very well everywhere they went, here more than others. It will be a fixed stop every time you return to the island

The restaurant is easily reached by bus from the center of Ponza, the stop is in front of the restaurant. We stayed here for dinner and come back every time very gladly because the food is excellent and also the service, hospitality and location taken care of by Mr. Davide are a guarantee of a wonderful evening. At the table Daniele serves with attention and courtesy. Bravi!!!

Fish restaurant, menu written on the blackboard which varies from day to day based on availability. The fish is fresh and excellent, the prices are honest (€30/35 per person). Attentive service and very helpful owners.

Excellent desserts made by them.... and you spend the right.

Local recommended by a local, what about the hospitality and cuisine of this restaurant make it truly unique. The restaurant is run by a family of fishermen and all it offers is only fresh fish. I had dinner on Saturday 22nd and before paying I booked the table for the next day on Sunday 24th. Try and you won't regret it

Beyond sympathy and hospitality we come to the point... marinated anchovies with spectacular red onion, tagliolini with swordfish eggs that I will remember as long as I field, cod on a bed of excellent escarole, pleasant white house. All for 95 euros including a portion of anchovies that I took away in takeaway. A fairy tale...

I never put reviews but this time it is right
Excellent first courses with quality raw materials (spaghetti with clams, half a pacchero with fresh tuna), sublime dessert (ricotta, figs and nuts)
Must try absolutely.
Kindness and unequivocal courtesy!

We had the swordfish ponza style as recommended by the chef and it was delicious. We were not able to understand each other as we couldn't speak Italian, but the owner really made an effort to help us when we were looking for a guide to show us around Ponza.

A family restaurant in a very quite area of Ponza, with not too much choice, especially when it cames to the antipasto, but fish is fresh (at least in the spring when I have been there) and the owner is nice and very friendly. The cakes are very good.
