Pascucci al Porticciolo In Fiumicino

This evening we dined at Pascucci al Porticciolo and it was a truly wonderful experience. We ate divinely: refined, elegant, and full of characterful seafood. The tasting menu is a must-try, as each dish showcases the sea with great care, balance, and originality. The service was impeccable: attentive, professional, extremely kind, and never intrusive. Special thanks to chef Gianfranco Pascucci, the chef's wife, and all the staff, especially Clelia, whom we'd already had the pleasure of meeting at other restaurants and who consistently proved to be excellent, elegant, and highly knowledgeable. The location was also beautiful: welcoming, well-kept, and filled with modern art and Sicilian furnishings. The ceramics, colors, and details evoke the sea and create a refined, original, and very pleasant atmosphere. Thank you also for letting us try the millefeuille: it was truly worth it. A restaurant I highly recommend to anyone who loves the sea, signature cuisine, and the highest level of hospitality.

Wonderful experience, for the quality of the food, the restaurant and the staff.

I'd known chef Gianfranco Pascucci from watching his shows on Gambero Rosso Channel, so it felt like I'd always been there, even though it was my first time there. Unlike the rather unremarkable exterior, the interior is meticulously maintained and tastefully furnished. Chef Gianfranco Pascucci is a master at understanding and treating fish and the various herbs and aromatic plants of the Mediterranean scrub. His cuisine is seemingly simple, yet well-structured and based on highly sophisticated culinary techniques. Two Czech tasting menus are available. The à la carte menu, on the other hand, features a limited selection of dishes (maximum four), but all are interesting and captivating. Worthy of note is the famous and now iconic "il mare di plastica" (an interesting reinterpretation of pasta with squid ink), which, although not on the daily menu, was prepared for us anyway. The other dishes we sampled were all delicious and well executed, particularly the crispy red mullet, marinated foie gras, and red berries, and the catch of the day with seafood. Service was attentive, punctual, friendly, and very professional. The wine list was interesting. The quality/price ratio was more than good for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The chef's presence among the tables and during the farewell was greatly appreciated.

Spectacular experience, congratulations to Gianfranco and Vanessa for the courtesy and kindness of their fantastic team. The food was amazing and presented to perfection, and the refined and elegant atmosphere, with well-spaced tables and very low noise levels, was a real plus. Congratulations again, and see you soon.

First time at this famous Michelin-starred restaurant on the Lazio coast. A youthful yet refined atmosphere, spacious tables with plenty of privacy given the space between each table. Very kind and professional staff, attentive to every guest's needs. Exceptional local ingredients, prepared with care. The real discovery? The pre-dessert dessert and dessert, heavenly! We highly recommend trying this experience at least once...the chef, needless to say, is a true professional, and his staff is no exception. Thank you

A real experience, in a few words Magnificent

A fantastic experience, Chef Pascucci made us fabulous dishes and the staff was professional.

I had dinner with my partner at Pascucci al Porticciolo last night. It's not easy to describe an experience like this. After just a few hours, I've already realized that you don't come here to eat well. There's no shortage of places to eat well these days. You go there to challenge your understanding of cuisine and flavors, you go there to step out of your comfort zone. I found a cuisine that demands attention, time, detail, and silence. A cuisine that speaks of the sea in every dish and in all its essence. We opted for the menu called "as deep as the sea is," which contains about ten courses. It's a progression of small touches, some delicate like the corn on the cob with passion fruit, others more rugged like the oyster with white chocolate granita. Certainly, nothing is there to please everyone. And that's precisely the point. Technically, we're at a very high level, but the technique is never a show-off; in fact, the dishes are sometimes extremely simple in their conception but complex in their serving and preparation. In the first course, "il mare in tavola" (sea on the table) with mixed pasta, I found a full, persistent flavor that contained every note of the sea. A round of applause for the delicate white grouper accompanied by burnt lime and green curry, escarole with béarnaise mayonnaise, and red mullet with foie gras and red berries. The Giarratana onion confit with mackerel is incredible. The green herb sorbet (I think basil and/or parsley) is incredible. Only the (sweet) soufflé didn't fully convince me. The service is remarkable, the staff is knowledgeable, always present but never invasive. The dining room has the same elegance as the kitchen: simple, concentrated, without frills, with classy paintings and sculptures that constantly recall the sea. The wine list is also impressive. Chef Pascucci and Mrs. Vanessa constantly accompany guests throughout the dining room during the presentation of the dishes and throughout the dinner. Superior to many other Michelin-starred restaurants of the same caliber (and even many with two stars), and above all, reasonably priced for the quality and technique on display. Here, you don't leave simply saying "how delicious." You leave thinking. And, for those who truly love cooking, it's worth much more.

Recommended by a colleague who called the experience "unique." It's the second 1-star restaurant I've tried in Rome and the surrounding area. We weren't blown away by the overwhelming flavors, and compared to the other restaurant, we didn't comment as enthusiastically about the tastes and pairings as we did at the other restaurant. We found some pairings to be inconsistent and overpowering the primary ingredient. For example, the red mullet with red fruit powder. All in all, not a bad experience. But we expected an explosion of flavors that, subjectively, we didn't receive.

My favorite restaurant: its cuisine is a wonderful journey of flavors and textures, a treat for the palate and the soul, given the warm yet refined atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
