Excellent for an aperitif in front of the lake. Drink + fish aperitif plate for 14 euros. Excellent price quality. The aperitif dish surprised us a lot. Thank you. We will return as soon as we have the opportunity

Excellent restaurant. It is impossible to miss when walking along Lungolago, as the delicious smell of fish and the beauty of the dishes will catch your attention. Young, committed people and professional service

Absolutely something fabulous, fish burger with spectacular sliced breaded tuna! Fair price!
To secure a place, it's best to book as it's quite crowded, especially on weekends!

Ordered Tonarelli cozze pachino pecorina, got to say that It's one of the best pastas I've ever Ate, The 25 minute wait was totally worth it, Maybe the salad Was not that fresh but overall it was a very good experience.

Review of Pescheria Friggitoria Toto, Piazza del Molo, Anguillara (RM)
August and where better to take a holiday break close to Rome than Largo di Bracciano. Wherever you are on the lake there are these gorgeous images of the tree-covered hills surrounding the depression that was left following volcanic activity in the region more than half million years ago. There are three urban centres on the lake – Bracciano Town and two smaller towns: Trevignano and Anguillara Sabazia.
Anguillara then. What’s not to like about this delightful, friendly and accommodating community. The Centro Storico is on a small peninsular that juts into the lake and the modern rural/urban hinterland stretches along the Via Anguillarese – heading south to Rome.
The ... scenery … is … spectacular – memorable/unforgettable – Italy within those world-famous images typical of a tourist guidebook. Before the meal, however, and whilst daylight remains get a sense of the ancient town around you - climb the stairways, follow the alley ways, footpaths and narrow streets to the highest point in the Centro Storico – Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo. Image yourself back in the 15th C.
Given the opportunity plan your evening meal on the lakeshore in Anguillara to catch the sunset over the lake with the westering sun slipping beneath the dark hills about 6 km away. For best you do this in August. This is the time when the entire country celebrates the Ferragosto holiday - 15Aug.
On the western side of Anguillara’s Centro Storico is the Piazza del Molo (i.e. ‘Wharf/Jetty Square’) – on two sides are town buildings and elsewhere the piazza is open to the 57 km2 of Lago di Bracciano. Il Risto Pescheria Toto is in a line of shops/restaurants in the eastern corner where the piazza meets the lakeshore road – Viale Reginaldo Belloni.
The main restaurant is for eating then the weather is against you – during the summer months there’s the option of eating alfresco next to the lake. The lakeshore restaurant is about 30 m across the Piazza del Molo from Il Toto from where the food is prepared (and where you find the toilets). Eat outside and you’re dining surrounded by the festivities typical of summer evenings – entertainment, music, carousel, people eating/drinking/talking/milling around and generally enjoying themselves.
We ate at Il Toto twice during our week in Anguillara – choice of foods, high quality foods, services, images and prices were good. The first time we took a table for six outside and to one side of the formal covered dining area – family of six: genitori, due ragazze & nonni with just the footpath between us and the lakeshore. Second time we ate in the covered dining room - two couples/friends for >30 years - the pleasure of shared people, places and memories.
For the first meal we raided the menu for all kinds of treasures – antipasti, grilled lake fish, grilled sea fish, calamari & patatine fritte, insalata mista and shared the foods self-service across the table with a bottle of White Lacustre to accompany the meal per gli adulti. The table/meals cost €96. For the second table/meals the four of us ate separately – risotto/scampi, misto lago & vongole antipasto and shared the contorno – insalata mista, patitine fritte together with another bottle of vino bianco Lacustre. The meal came to €82. The meals arrived at the same time, they were a delight to the eye and a pleasure to eat. Service was excellent – friendly, informative and efficient. Our cameriere handled three languages con brio. (We look forward to returning and eating much the same meals in La Toto next summer.)
As the sky darkens, the bright lights in the piazza dominate your surroundings and you can no longer see the stars. Meal finished … now is the time to wander along the lake shore and take in the people, restaurants al fresco and the evening entertainment that spills across the Piazza del Molo. At a small kiosk there was live singing to recorded music with a seated audience of perhaps a dozen+ with more people standing and watching. The was also a carousel for the little kids.
In summary then – a small delightful rural town at the edge of an iconic lake. Tasty gelato in the afternoon and, in the warm evening, pleasant meals in Il Toto shared, respectively, with family and friends. There were lights, music and people at play providing those holiday images of Italy in mid-August.
Issues? There was no dance floor available and no opportunity for dancing in the piazza! Lakeside Italy with romance in the air - the country is synonymous with dance! What an opportunity missed! Then ask yourself, dancing or not, where would you have rather been that evening?
