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.

Sublime...domani sera ci torniamo

June 2024 • couples

All exceptional! From appetizer to dessert. If you want to get the experience of top Ponza cuisine you can not come to dinner in this place! Materia prima al top! Typical cuisine at very high levels.... never dined so well in a tourist place.... simple and intriguing atmosphere. Maximum professionalism and friendliness of the staff

Not to be missed

Aug 2024 • couples

Excellent local in the center of Ponza life. We stayed at this restaurant my boyfriend and I, in August without Reservation we were immediately given the seat inside (outside you had to do a bit 'of waiting), we took the mixed fried, two pizzas (a daisy and a Sicilian) and as a sweet chocolate salami, we were really satisfied because it was all very good, the bill was not salty and the service was great. We would have been curious to try the cuisine but we kept little on the island, surely it was delicious. Highly Recommendation.

Thanks for ❤️ Pizzeria Ponzese

July 2024 • couples

Immediately this place kidnapped us. For its island authenticity, for the food offering and for the strategic position along the "calata" high port front of Ponza. Of the three dinners we had available, two we chose to enjoy them at the Pizzeria Ponzese, thanks to the kindness and professionalism of Paola and Andrea and the excellent food baked every day that allowed us to taste the typical Ponzese tielle, the soups of cicerchia and excellent appetizers that taste of the sea and tradition! To complete all the pleasant meetings and chats with the local islanders. I mention Francesco who is a real “sea wolf” and in addition to organizing fantastic boat trips is also available for tours and “private” tours (I leave you the number because I know he might like it: 340-5590515 on whatsapp or on cell: 338-8771243). Thanks Ponza, thanks Pizzeria Ponzese and thanks islanders you all: you made our holiday unforgettable! A presto! Manuela and Stefano

Place to forget

July 2024 • couples

Octopus tentacle, better than octopus actually, inedible, half paccheri to octopus, inedible octopus, not even with the teeth of a shark. The focaccia brought with the appetizer, probably recycled from midday, inedible. Then I had the octopus already ordered cancelled. The only decent thing Caprese but only for tomatoes, mozzarella is supermarket. Comment from the waitress who had her plates returned? "Che strano"!! A place that works only for the location but in full Ponzese style where it would seem that total improvisation and lack of professionalism are the characteristic of the island and if it is true, as claimed, that the octopus was fresh, I assure you that it takes talent to reduce it hard as leather. Oltretutto caro!! I really advise against it.

Salve grazie per la recensione dove dalle parole dei clienti bisogna solo imparare Purtroppo la devo smentire su alcuni punti scritti da lei nella recensione Il polpo era fresco arrivato nel pomeriggio ed errore mio averlo subito pulito e cucinato senza averlo abbattuto prima( procedimento di abbattimento del polpo serve per rompere le fibre del polpo rendendolo morbido) In futuro prima di recensire qualsiasi locale si informi prima nei metodi di mantenimento e di trattamento delle materie prime Distinti saluti

A love that has lasted since 1984

Sept 2023 • friends

The Ponza restaurant? difficult to review in a few words! A historic place on the main street of Ponza, family-run, in my opinion for all ages. The menu is full of dishes with strong, well-balanced flavours, the fried foods are crispy and battered to perfection, the "world-class" pizzas, the mussel and clam soute deserves a special mention together with the fried anchovies, simple and clean, very kind staff, zero waiting, excellent value for money, nothing arranged, there is a team between kitchen and service that works hard with passion, sacrifice, smiles, there are the flavors of home, and there is Paola... who carries on this tradition with great charisma, for those who don't know him absolutely recommended!

Too bad!

Aug 2024 • couples

We were looking for a casual place with with typical traditional cuisine and this place meets these characteristics. The products used are good, too bad that the prices are too high and the quantities scarce. A plate of paccheri (12 in total) with basil pesto and roasted octopus (four small pieces in total of octopus) 25 euros. A grill, consisting of a roasted cuttlefish and 3 prawns 30 euros and we were not even brought bread. Unfortunately, it seems like the classic place to pluck the vacationer.

Ponza pizzeria. . . TRUST me and not just for the pizzas

May 2024 • couples

It is fortunate to find a place where the tastes and dishes of the past are rigorously preserved, cooked with passion and simplicity, with 0 km products from the garden, by a beautiful, harmonious and welcoming family from Ponza. Kindness, quality and fair prices make this place to be preferred, both for lunch and dinner. Excellent pizzas. The liqueurs made by grandmother are exquisite 👵 with original combinations: chilli pepper and sage, prickly pear etc.

Fantastic food at the lowest cost

May 2022 • family

Best pizza on the island, and for 1/3rd the cost of other restaurants !! German Beer on tap, selection of reasonable seafood and non seafood, pastas, pizza and more. The owners speak excellent English and are very friendly and helpful. After searching all restaurants in Ponza and trying several, we kept coming back to this one for the quality and cost !! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for excellent food at reasonable prices - fantastic little place !!

A pitcher of cold beer to sip in ice-cold mugs: what else?😉

Sept 2024 • family

After disembarking hot from the ferry, before heading to the Accommodation, we stopped for lunch at this trattoria. Zeppole, tiella ponzese, pizza with escarole, courgette flowers, ... All very welcome (and nice greasy😉). But what won us over was the pitcher of beer (fresh and bubbly) served in iced mugs. With temperatures still scorching, it was a very pleasant experience: a real “refreshment”! To the point that, before leaving... we had an encore 🍻

Sept 2024 • couples

What about..... landed in Ponza we were attracted by the sign of Trattoria Pizzeria Ponzese. We ate the grass pea soup and spaghetti with clams. All good that, added to the sympathy of the whole family that runs it, made it feel at home. Eventually it became the place that gave us dinners on the harbor that we will remember for a long time. Very good pizza and to absolutely try the different tigelle. Quite low price and quality of products.

As at home thanks to the staff everything, thanks to Paola, and the exceptional dad!

July 2024 • friends

Discovered by chance, walking, the intuition of my friend who is not wrong we tried peace. Siamo tornati tre sere di seguito!! Fish, pizza, fried simply delicious!! All fresh, quality of individual ingredients, and courtesy, professionalism. Lobster pasta is my mouth-watering advice! Always ask for dishes of the day. Among the specialties the tiella, a pizza stuffed with octopus or unique vegetables. Good daisy. Dry fries. Come poche volte mi capita mangiare bene come a casa mia!! I recommend it for quality, cuisine, and already conquered by the food, sublime Ms. Paola and staff Thank you!

Too greasy

July 2024 • couples

I state that I took some takeaway food, so maybe we were not so satisfied for this reason, but unfortunately the fried food we ate (zucchini flowers, supplì and croquettes) were really too greasy and not digestible, despite having consumed them shortly after purchase. Tiella and focaccia not bad, but always with lots of oil. Quite high prices for quality, a bit like the whole island.

Fantastic Pizza, good prices and great team

Aug 2022 • friends

Great pizza and fantastic staff that went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Reasonably priced and chilled vibe, highly recommended Pizzeria Ponzese for a good meal. Thank you Paula and team, we’ll be back to visit next summer for sure. No surprise this family run pizzeria has been operating for nearly 40 years.
