Povero Pesce In Bellizzi

Welcoming place, fresh products and commitment to service, we will return

We returned to this magnificent restaurant for the second time and were thrilled with the quality of the dishes offered by Mr. Cristian, the owner, who is very kind and professional. Highly recommended, excellent value for money. Angelo

And here I am again, once again in the poor fish's paradise

I had dinner here. The dishes were tasty and made with excellent ingredients. The service was friendly and simple. The appetizer portions could be larger, and I didn't like the house white wine. I recommend this authentic restaurant.

A seafood restaurant where my wife and I occasionally return for a delicious seafood dinner. Small but welcoming, the staff are attentive, friendly, and helpful. The quality of the dishes is excellent. It's always a pleasure to return.

Authentic seafood trattoria, with fresh fish and carefully prepared dishes. The purple gnocchi, lustrinelli, and fried fish are truly excellent. Friendly service and a simple, authentic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

A small trattoria-style restaurant located in the center of Bellizzi, serving well-cooked fish at prices that are lower than those of its competitors. Generous first courses and excellent fried fish are also available. An appetizer, an anchovy parmigiana, two first courses, and a fried fish with a bottle of water cost €70.

Everything was delicious, excellent value for money.

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!
