This restaurant is a true gem in the heart of Fondi: from the first glance at the elegant garden, you'll experience an elegant yet never overly formal atmosphere, instantly putting you at ease and making every guest feel truly special.
1. Location – The outdoor garden and the meticulously designed interiors offer an exclusive setting for an unforgettable dinner. The soft lighting, elegant furnishings, and discreet hospitality create a warm and refined atmosphere. Inside, I saw
a real olive oil mill, enriching the experience with history and imagination.
2. Quality – The ingredients are top-quality and crafted with great respect: dishes like tuna tartare, spaghetti with squid ink, or seared octopus showcase authentic, flavorful, and sophisticated cuisine.
3. Creativity – The menu amazes with bold yet balanced combinations: a perfect blend of local tradition and culinary innovation, leaving you wanting to return to discover new offerings.
4. Service – Young, cheerful, and attentive, the staff knows how to put the customer first. Special praise goes to Paolo, who with professionalism and kindness made my family birthday dinner a memorable experience. Despite his young age, he proves to be a true host: double and triple compliments!
5. Overall Experience – Of the various restaurants I tried in the area, Locanda Ercole is undoubtedly the one that impressed me the most and that I will cherish as the best experience in Fondi.
In a word: an experience that embodies quality, elegance, and human warmth. I will definitely return and recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for a special evening.

A welcoming, contemporary venue, the backdrop to the stone olive oil mill... but the real gem is the internal courtyard, a play of soft lighting that will guide you to your table, with minimal yet effective table settings! The wine list is essential, with plenty of quality sparkling wines.
A no-frills menu (in my opinion, even overly fair prices), the freshest catch, excellent tuna tartare. The hummus with seared cuttlefish was divine! Everything was very balanced; the chef focused on the quality of the ingredients, enhancing everything with innovative cooking techniques.
Kudos to the young, enthusiastic staff who welcomed and served us, always smiling and with so much passion in their eyes...
We will gladly return.

We had dinner on Friday. The location was beautiful, both inside and out. We sat in the lovely garden. The atmosphere was very relaxed, with just the right music and an elegant, no-frills setting. We ate very well, and I also liked the way the dishes were presented. Excellent value. I will definitely be back.
