24/03/2025: A few steps from the center of Nettuno, In Mezzo al Mare is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like you're in the right place right away: a relaxed but refined atmosphere, the sound of the waves in the background and the aroma of the sea coming straight from the kitchen.
The raw appetizer was a dazzling start: very fresh raw materials, served with simplicity and elegance. Red prawns, scampi, tartare and oysters - every bite was a tribute to the sea, without unnecessary frills, but with an attention to detail that you can feel more than you can see.
The first course, made with the catch of the day, arrived as a surprise of the moment. Perfectly balanced, tasty but never invasive, with textbook pasta cooking.
To close the circle, a fried calamari and prawns to applaud: crunchy, dry, with a lightness that is rarely found. Every bite was fragrant, with that full and authentic flavor that only a well-made fried food can give.
The service is friendly, smiling, attentive without ever being formal. The wine list offers a good selection of local and national labels, with choices suitable for both those looking for bubbles and those who want a structured white to accompany the meal.
In Mezzo al Mare is a small jewel overlooking the Lazio coast: a must-see for those who love real fish, treated with respect and passion. I will return, without a doubt.
17/03/2025: I've been back to this place several times since the change of management. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Excellent food, with several truly tasty surprises: and among these the homemade pasta stands out which is truly superb in its various toppings.
Absolutely reasonable prices.
In summary, it far exceeds its promises.
The restaurant enjoys a truly beautiful view, which ranges from the port of Nettuno to the entire beach up to Circeo when the day is nice.
