la lanterna da Silverio In Ponza

I hadn't been there for many years and had fond memories of it, but the reality was even better: everything was delicious: marinated anchovies, scapece-style courgettes, tuna panzanella, lentil soup, rabbit, and finally the legendary chocolate salami. The house Montepulciano di Ponza wine was delicious, everything was perfect, the service was perfect, and the bill was 55 euros per person.

Excellent trattoria, a regular on the island for years. Delicious food, adequate service. It's often crowded, so you might feel a little cramped.

A restaurant in the center of Ponza that boasts fresh, traditional fish cuisine. The portions are generous, and the fish is wonderfully flavorful—just as you'd expect. Ideal for a relaxed dinner with friends or family—and those who stop by once will be happy to return.

The place is tidy and the service is attentive, but the quality-price ratio isn't convincing. Too expensive for what you get.”

An experience to share with friends or even family... generous dishes with a strong flavour but above all the warmth that this place offers is exceptional... all the staff are polite and the owner is on the front line taking orders... modest price (and fair for the quality)

For those looking for a unique experience in Ponza, this is the ideal place. Prices are fair for the right portions. Silverio is an excellent, friendly, and helpful host, and the staff is polite and helpful. Make a reservation to avoid the queue. It's definitely worth it. Congratulations!

We chose this restaurant almost skeptically, because it was on the main street, and we thought it would be a tourist restaurant. We changed our minds. We went inside. The atmosphere is familiar, a bit retro, both in the floors and the furnishings, but pleasant. Clean and tidy. The waiters were friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered marinated anchovies, a bit dry but meaty. They were good. Homemade gnocchi with squid and pecorino cheese. A well-made and flavorful dish. Fried calamari. Not greasy and well-fried. A glass of Pecorino Terre d'Abruzzo white wine. Two mineral waters. We spent 71 euros. Average for Ponza. Recommended!

The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff and owner were friendly and attentive. The only complaint: the shrimp tartare portion was too small.

Fast and courteous service. Quality food and reasonable bill. I recommend it.

Abbiamo passato una bellissima serata nel cuore di Ponza. La location è davvero suggestiva: all'esterno ci sono tavoli situati sul corso principale, dove si respira l’aria di mare e si osservano i turisti passeggiare; all’interno, invece, c'è una saletta accogliente e tranquilla, perfetta per chi cerca un po’ di intimità. Noi abbiamo scelto di accomodarci all’interno e siamo stati benissimo. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: i camerieri sono stati sempre gentili, presenti e pronti a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta. Abbiamo iniziato con un ottimo vino e un souté di cozze semplicemente delizioso. Le cozze erano freschissime e morbidissime, immerse in un sughetto che racchiudeva tutto il sapore del mare. I primi piatti erano entrambi squisiti e delicati, ma il secondo è stato davvero sorprendente: non avevamo mai mangiato un pesce così buono! Per concludere, abbiamo finalmente trovato un tiramisù all’altezza del suo nome, accompagnato da un gustoso salame al cioccolato. La serata si è conclusa con una lunga e piacevole chiacchierata con Silverio, il proprietario, un ragazzo gentilissimo e molto disponibile, che ha reso l’esperienza ancora più speciale. Consiglio a tutti di provare questo ristorante. Qualità, atmosfera e accoglienza sono davvero di altissimo livello. Ci tornerei già stasera!
