Antica Trattoria Da N'dino In Fondi

If you're looking for a delicious fish restaurant instead of pizza, this is the place to be. Want to be served like royalty? You'll find it here, with an extensive menu to choose from. Delicious. It's a shame the atmosphere feels a bit unromantic, but personally, I haven't encountered that anywhere else in Fondi. I guess, as the locals do, so the locals do. It's a bit more expensive by Italian standards, but the quality of the cuisine and the service more than make up for it. By Dutch standards, it's even inexpensive! Highly recommended.

An exceptional restaurant in the historic center of Fondi. Excellent cuisine, extremely friendly and helpful staff, truly a delight for the palate. We've been coming for five years and have a wonderful time every summer. The prices are in line with the service and quality of the food. The decor and atmosphere are beautiful.

Excellent cuisine and very kind staff

We found this trattoria by chance... the local dishes were excellent; we tried them all, and we highly recommend them! The first courses were also very good. Open the door and you'll discover a real trattoria with traditional dishes!

A true gastronomic discovery! A truly interesting trattoria, where the food captivates from the first bite. The dishes are tasty and prepared with fresh ingredients—the fish, in particular, is excellent quality and cooked to perfection. The staff is extremely kind, professional, and surprisingly fast, always ready to accommodate every request with a smile. The bill? Fair and appropriate for the quality offered. A pleasant experience in every way—we'll definitely be back!

And instead, as soon as we entered, we found ourselves in front of a true hidden gem. We then discovered that this simplicity is anything but random: the name "Trattoria" and the sober style of the sign are a heartfelt tribute to the chef's grandfather, who opened the place three generations ago. It is a deliberate choice, out of respect for the family history, which adds even more value to the experience. Inside, an authentic, warm and passionate environment welcomed us.
