Il Gatto e La Volpe In Formia

Historic place located along the streets of the municipality of Formia. The place is well looked after and the attention of the staff is pleasant to say the least. They know how to recommend the dishes of the day and accompany you in the various tastings based on the catch of the day. Excellent second courses and wine list. Excellent value for money.

A very solid fish restaurant in Formia. Elegant furnishings, very extensive offerings, we felt very comfortable.

Still in the off season but still in shape

One of the best fish restaurants in the area

I entered thinking I would find a tavern like others, with red checkered tablecloths and a rustic atmosphere, but instead I found myself in a well-kept and valorised place. Best mistake made. A short menu but full of attention to nearby slow food establishments, attentive, polite and kind dining room staff. From the kitchen, abundant and carefully prepared dishes, fortunately one evening I happened to find that the dish with the anchovy sauce ran out and was replaced with a spaghetti of Gragnano cheese and pepper with prawn tartare. A good plate of pasta with mussels and beans, and an excellent stuffed squid. The quality is high, it is perceived and paid for with pleasure. If I come back to Formia I'll go back. Ps. I would have preferred warm bread

Located in the center of Formia is this welcoming restaurant. From the first moment you are welcomed by kind and professional staff. The food is truly exceptional. The owner is a truly polite and helpful person.

For the most part the food was good and fresh. The price-quality was right, €55 each, but the service was surprisingly mediocre. We were 6 people and one of us never received his main dish. After reporting it twice, the plate with an extremely small portion arrived at the table after everyone had already finished their meal. The co-owner/manager came to the table giving the kind waitress an excuse for this mix-up and mishap, when in reality it was the other co-owner who took the order. I would have expected more from the owner. We should have said something, but we didn't want to make a scene or ruin the evening. Sin! We don't plan on going back anytime soon!

Ho sempre sentito parlare di questo locale per la fama storica ma non ci ero mai andata, chissà perché. Invece ieri sera (San Valentino) io e mio marito (con neonato) abbiamo deciso di provare e decisamente RITORNEREMO PIÙ E PIÙ VOLTE. Qualità e presentazione dei cibi da ristorante stellato, staff sempre molto gentile e cortese, servizio rapido, location invidiabile, parcheggio ampio, gratuito e disponibile fronte ristorante. Preciso anche che, nonostante la nostra dimenticanza nel precisare di voler stare all'interno invece che nella veranda esterna riscaldata, ci hanno pensato da soli a metterci dentro sulla base del fatto che in fase di prenotazione avevamo parlato della carrozzina per il neonato. Forse sembrerà a molti scontato, ma non lo è e siamo molto grati allo staff per questa accortezza e per molte altre avute non solo nei nostri confronti ma anche nei confronti del piccino. Torneremo sicuramente e senza ombra di dubbio faremo un'ottima pubblicità al "gatto e la volpe". D'ora in poi saremo clienti affezionati. Vi ringraziamo per la splendida serata che ci avete offerto e complimenti ancora.

Everything was excellent, the staff were attentive and kind. I recommend it.

Si ritorna sempre nel posto che si ama. A distanza di un annetto, ho avuto modo di cenare nuovamente al Gatto e la Volpe, per me la vera istituzione di Formia. Un posto unico, speciale, accogliente. Riscrivo la recensione per loro perché è un atto d’amore. Consiglio come sempre il loro antipasto degustazione che è semplicemente divino, con alici marinate a puntino, polpettina di pesce, insalata di polpo, mazzancolle e carpaccio di pesce spada. Come primo questa volta ho optato per un must del locale, pasta mista con fagioli, cozze e polpo (divine) e dopo un tortino al cioccolato unico. La cortesia e la gentilezza del personale è paragonabile ad un 5 stelle. Conto in linea con quello che ho mangiato.
