21/06/2025: We don't know if Punta Marina or Cristallo came first, but this place is certainly a real institution for those who live here.
The proximity to the sea allows chefs to have fresh fish every day and let's face it... Those who work by the sea almost always have something more to tell.
The restaurant is located just a few steps from the sea and has a small veranda for those who want to order take-away or eat very quickly and without frills at the tables outside - as we did.
The smell of frying, the sound of peacocks singing above our heads, the fresh breeze and the sun gave us a special atmosphere.
We ordered: 😋
- Seafood salad: with an unmistakable seafood flavor, fresh with a light citrus note, it opened the dance in a sensational way. The use of cooked vegetables such as courgette is also particular.
- Risotto alla marinara: no, risotto a little overcooked and tomato a little sweetish. Full of little fish but the cooking of the rice needs to be reviewed.
- Mixed skewers: two of shrimp and two of cuttlefish. Very tasty, good, full of meat, they filled the mouth. The tender and tasty consistency of the fish blended harmoniously with the crunchy and delicate taste of the breading.
In conclusion we can say that after having taken a tour of the seaside baths, having tasted dishes with the feet on different beaches, having paid different bills, this is the one that won (for now) among those we have tried. (many we have not had the courage to post)
The quality/price ratio was right, the portions of the appropriate size and the timing quick, also kind and helpful the lady behind the counter.
09/06/2025: My husband and I had dinner at this restaurant, found by chance, we ate very well, a spectacular risotto and delicious spaghetti with clams, then we shared an excellent fried fish with water and a bottle of wine we spent 76 euros, I would say perfect. The staff was prepared and kind
