Povero Pesce In Bellizzi

Rich dishes featuring fresh, high-quality seafood. The menu varies depending on the catch. The place is very basic, but if you're looking for flavor and quality in seafood dishes, you've come to the right place. The service is okay, but the price isn't cheap in my opinion. Considering the location, the service, and the table settings, the prices are more like a 4-star restaurant.

We've been frequenting 'O Povero Pesce for several years now, and each visit is a confirmation. The restaurant, open a couple of years ago and flanked by the family fishmonger, offers dishes prepared with the catch of the day: a guarantee of freshness that is evident in every course. Our favorite feature is the chalkboard menu, handwritten daily and brought to the table: simple, authentic, and true to the spirit of the restaurant. We started with a rich house antipasto, served on a single plate but composed of many small bites: marinated anchovies, tuna meatball, salmon, and smoked tuna, a seafood salad with green beans, and cuttlefish on mashed potatoes with marinated shrimp (raw). A well-balanced, fresh, and truly satisfying mix. For our first courses, we chose the fisherman's paccheri and the "'O Povero Pesce" tubetti, a version of pasta topped with seafood sauce and clams. Simple yet flavorful dishes, generously seasoned and with top-quality ingredients. For main courses, we tried the roasted cuttlefish on a bed of zucchini scapece, tender and flavorful, and the sea snails in tomato sauce, basil, and a touch of chili pepper: a traditional, intense, and truly well-executed dish. Next came the desserts: a berry cheesecake and a warm chocolate tart served with milk cream. Both were delicious and carefully crafted. To conclude, the owner—always kind and helpful—offered us a meloncello digestif and coffee. A gesture that confirms the family atmosphere and the care they give to their customers. The prices are fair, truly modest considering the quality and freshness of the fish. It's no coincidence that we've become regulars: professionalism, kindness, and authenticity are never lacking here. Congratulations to all the staff: keep up the good work!

We ate very well. The price was reasonable.

We discovered this osteria almost by chance and were truly impressed! The atmosphere is typical of a true seafood osteria: welcoming, well-kept, and with a rustic touch that makes everything more authentic. The location is charming, perfect for a relaxing evening. The staff was impeccable: friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to recommend the daily specials or the right bottle of wine to pair them with. You can sense their love for their work and their desire to make every customer feel at home. And last but not least, the prices are truly fair considering the quality of the ingredients and the service offered. An excellent value, hard to find in similar places. We will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu. Kudos to the entire staff!

Simple place but very warm welcome and top-notch cuisine 👌 a good time

No, lots of expectations but in the end nothing special.

One of those classic, authentic, no-frills restaurants. Worthy of note is their respect for seasonality, a priceless treasure of the Italian seas. A must-visit for true seafood lovers, simply fantastic. ❤️
