Masaniello In Gaeta

03/01/2025: My partner and I were in Gaeta and we chose this small restaurant on the seafront because we needed tranquility. We were welcomed by the owner, a very discreet and kind Rocco Papaleo type. We ate very well, starting with an appetizer of cured meats and cheeses described in their origin and nature by the owner very accurately. I still have in mind the goodness of organic goat cheese, black pork salami from Caserta, delicious local olives and special ham. We then had two tielle with escarole, olives and cod, it was a pleasure I would have eaten until I fainted. Followed by a portion of black beans with pork and another with escarole and cannellini beans, all accompanied by excellent bread and an excellent wine clearly recommended. It is a family run kitchen where the owner's daughter is in the kitchen. It's one of the few times that I take the flavors of food away with me in my mind. It is a place among my favorites where I will definitely return.
