31/08/2025: This is the thirteenth year we've been guests at TUCA TUCA, a wonderful beach resort run with such professionalism and love.
Today, for the last time this year, we delighted in the cuisine of our dear Giorgia, a special person, always ready to satisfy our seafood cravings, always with a smile, which never hurts.
Today, the fried fish was wonderful; there were even zucchini flowers stuffed with Argentine shrimp and buffalo mozzarella, and she also treated us to the famous fish balls, a delight.
Thank you, Giorgia, Zoe, and all the staff.
See you next year. 👏👏
30/08/2025: Remarkable.
How I could have missed this delightful place in Silvi, I honestly don't know. What I do know is that, on the last Sunday of August, I find myself surprised and delighted. We're a great group, and we spend the first 10 minutes enchanted by the waves and breakers, which are definitely within reach. The location is very pretty. Colorful tables and chairs, designer tableware, armchairs, and lounge furniture jut out onto a splendid window directly overlooking the beach. The dishes are meticulously crafted.
We begin with appetizers featuring battered sage and borage and a delicious zucchini flower stuffed with shrimp and burrata. The marinated anchovies are excellent, and this is not a given; the seafood panzanella, rich in vegetables and shellfish, is very interesting and tasty; and the anchovy and mackerel meatballs with a thick herb and garlic sauce are truly unforgettable. All accompanied by an assortment of fresh and fermented vegetables. Just enough time to realize we've found a great place, and we're served a truly remarkable sample of pasta and chickpeas with fish. This is followed by exquisite ravioli filled with amberjack, topped with a liquid lemon and sumac sauce: delicious. We finish with a delicious mixed roast and a fruit platter enriched with a thousand herbs.
All of this, look closely, is prepared in an open kitchen by the friendly and knowledgeable Giorgia, who uses spices, herbs, and flowers with rare mastery.
10 out of 10, and see you soon.
