mascagni In Napoli

25/09/2025: Fast service at first, and the food arrived quickly. Rather poor value for money. The grilled calamari was already quite cold when served. The fried mixed fish was good and hot. The side dish was separate, making it relatively expensive. The green salad was a carelessly prepared iceberg lettuce. The balsamic vinegar was empty. The pepper mill didn't work properly. Service also deteriorated as the meal progressed. There were only three tables occupied, and the three available staff members stood around chatting instead of offering us a drink or dessert. Not again.

06/09/2025: Well-maintained seaside restaurant. Excellent food, above the local average. Just steps from the center of Forio, it offers privacy and romance. Food: We had the spaghetti with clams, which was incredibly delicious. The portion was medium, almost generous, I'd even say. The clams were large and hard, the parsley-infused oil exceptional, not to mention the creamy sauce that coated the spaghetti itself. I think about it and my mouth is watering. For the second course, the grilled calamari. It may seem like a simple dish, but experts know it needs to be cooked to perfection to bring out its full flavor. Finally, a lemon delicacy was good, but not as excellent as the dishes above. We ordered wine by the glass, Greco. It was poured at the table and shown to us from the bottle (few do that). The wine was good too. Prices vary, but for €30 per person, you can eat very well. The staff is attentive, polite, and very welcoming. What can I say, we'll be back. It's worth it! Oh... we also had a water. In total, we spent €66, a normal price for a dinner with above-average quality. Well done, well done! 👏🏼
