Ristorante Pizzeria Da Marcello In Pontinia

Excellent pizza, meat and fish, a must try

The staff were excellent, but the pizza didn't convince me! I'm giving it an overall 3 stars, averaging the ambiance and the food. I'll start with the positives: the location is truly charming and well-kept, and I'd like to highlight the kindness of the staff, who were very courteous and helpful throughout the evening. Unfortunately, however, the pizza experience was mediocre. Speaking as a Neapolitan, I found the dough decidedly too crispy, far from the soft style I prefer. Specifically, I didn't like the marinara: the sauce was a bit overcooked (losing its necessary freshness), the garlic was in whole cloves, and the anchovies were raw. It's a shame, because the atmosphere and service deserved a much higher rating, but the pizza could be improved. All in all, we'll be back for an update.
