Alicina hosteria In Monte argentario

Innovative seafood menu, everything excellent, never pretentious. From appetizer to dessert, everyone was satisfied. The best dinner in the area in recent years. Perfect service, elegant yet casual atmosphere.

The fish was definitely very fresh, and the raw fish was excellent. My spaghetti with squid was perfectly cooked. However, I found the price to be excessive for what we ate. A word about the service...I saw the waiter serve with his thumb in the middle of his plate. The bread was dry...

The raw fish appetizer was very good, but overpriced for what you get. Spaghetti with squid was good, but the fusilli with bottarga didn't even touch the bottarga. The service was improvised by young, unprepared people. I honestly wouldn't recommend it.

A 3.5, to be honest... the menu offers sophisticated dishes, but nothing, at least among the choices, is particularly exciting. The fish of the day, seared and accompanied by mayonnaise, is good (but very small in terms of portions), and the cod with turnips and bread crumble is equally delicious, but neither of them makes me say "what a surprise!" Friendly staff, good service, nice location, but high prices.

The place is clean and well-decorated, and the food is tasty, but the visit was marred by a less than fair bill. Charging €12 for spaghetti with clams without sea urchins, like the one on the menu (requested for a 5-year-old) and €12 for pasta with olive oil (for a child of two), plus a €12 cover charge and the parents' plates, doesn't make you feel truly welcome, considering a polite and short stay on a very quiet day and time. A hefty bill with mediocre service. It's a shame, I wouldn't recommend it.

We had a wonderful family dinner and were truly delighted. We booked a day in advance and were immediately given a table right on the seafront. The food was very good. I particularly enjoyed the fried fish and vegetable tempura. The first courses were also excellent, and they were very willing to prepare a vegetarian dish off the menu. The service was fast, and the waiters knew the menu perfectly, answering all our questions expertly. Plus, the location is truly spectacular. However, I can't understand why this restaurant only has 3.8 stars. In my humble opinion, it deserves at least 4.5 stars.

A lovely place, right on the Porto Ercole harbor. We booked for seven and were seated at a table for five, practically one on top of the other. When we pointed this out, they made us move the table settings ourselves. There's very little space on the outdoor deck for both guests and waiters. We weren't brought a cooler to keep our wine chilled until we asked several times; the waiters were kind but hasty. The table lamps were out of order; we asked several times for them, too, as otherwise you'd dine in the dark. The spaghetti with clams and sea urchins was very good, but overall the pasta was a bit undercooked. In a restaurant of that caliber and with those prices, the service leaves much to be desired. I'm very disappointed, because this could truly be a gem in Porto Ercole; with more attention to service and space, perhaps even a few more seats could have a significantly better experience.

Top-notch. Very good, very refined. Pleasant staff.

To be honest quite average in genaeral

Staff was lovely, view and atmosphere were amazing, but food was very mediocre. Bread was stale, “fresh” fish came basically plain, luke warm on a plate with burnt rosemary. Pasta fusili was not bad but not good either.
