Dolce Caffè In Castellammare di stabia

11/12/2024: A fishmonger with an adjoining restaurant. Excellent value for money, with €15-20 you can eat two courses but a fixed menu is also available for less. The portions are generous. Three stars for the location and service. Very simple place, spartan although friendly service, no table menu but only fixed menus or the waiter's suggestions. Spaghetti with clams and fried calamari are recommended.

24/11/2024: First of all we started badly; table booked for lunch time yesterday and confirmed by the presence of the cell phone memory of the phone call: the reservation and it can't be found! I insist and they reply that it was not possible that the reservation had been confirmed because at 1pm on Saturday all the tables were already booked. However, they can accommodate us outside and thank goodness the day, even in mid-November, allowed it... Let's get to the food: abundant and well-made spaghetti with clams; the rest (especially the fixed menu) is quite disappointing: the fried calamari is saved but not the fried mixed fish, practically only red mullet. The spaghetti alone would be worth 5 but I give it 3 considering the average of the other dishes. The bill (without tax document, of course) was free of surprises, also because they forgot to include a couple of dishes and water. We wake up disappointed with the treatment we received, despite having eaten an excellent spaghetti with clams.
