We went to "Dalla Paella alla Brace" in Gaeta to try their famous paella, and I have to say it was truly delicious: rich in flavor and fresh ingredients, it was definitely worth the wait. We also had a stuffed zucchini flower, which was good but a little too fried for my taste.
The staff is incredibly kind, always smiling and very helpful.
The only downside was the wait: we waited about 45 minutes for the paella. I understand it's a long dish to prepare, but perhaps it would be better to prioritize the order rather than just the arrival of the tables: if someone orders just the paella, they shouldn't have to wait longer than someone who ordered several other dishes.
In conclusion: great place, tasty dishes, and friendly staff, but be prepared to be patient with the paella!

A paella worth every penny, paired with sangria, exceptional! The owners and staff are fantastic!! I recommend booking in advance because the restaurant is always busy. I recommend the Valencian paella €20, two very full pans for 2 people (you'll have to wait 20 minutes but it's worth it).

A thoroughly enjoyable visit: We shared calamari fritti for starters, followed by paella – both excellent and prepared to the highest standards. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. It's exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant in Italy. Molto Bene!

SUBLIME! Intrigued by the excellent reviews, we decided to book. The experience was top-notch: the best paella we've ever had. The place is charming and well-kept, the staff are incredibly kind and attentive, and the food is simply heavenly. It's definitely worth a try during your stay in Gaeta.

We had the Valencian paella, which was very good, well-cooked, tasty, and filling. It's served in a small pan and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly; they warned us about the wait, as it was made on the spot. The place is quaint.

Excellent food fairly priced (not cheap, but it's fancy fish food for an acceptable price).

Family dinner in July.
The food was quite good...the bruschetta to start with was delicious, as was the paella.
The grilled fish was acceptable.
Overall, three and a half stars (if only).

Tornati oggi dopo 3 anni...abbiamo trovato tutto migliore della prima volta: veramente un ottimo pranzo! La paella valenziana e la frittura di polpo e calamari ci hanno deliziati ma anche il resto è stato buonissimo. Il personale è gentilissimo, l'ambiente molto pulito ed il servizio veloce e attento...complimenti infiniti! D'ora in poi, verremo sicuramente più spesso

Spinto dalle buone recensioni, mi sono fermato per pranzo. PRemesso che il personale è cordiale, disponibile, simpatico e tutto quello che di buono si può incontrare in un ristorante, la cucina mi è molto piaciuta. La paella alla pescatora, in versione italianizzata, di una bontà incredibile. Anche la frittura di alici e calamari molto buona. Tiramisù fatto in casa altrettanto eccezionale. Prezzi adeguati. Insomma lo consiglio vivamente.
