Trattoria Ariston da Angelo In Ustica

A sea-view dinner on Ustica's stunning little harbor, a full moon, a relaxed, family atmosphere, and beautifully cooked seafood. The friendliness and kindness of the staff made the evening perfect. We'll be back!

A dinner of the freshest fish accompanied by a fantastic wine. Overlooking the harbor under a full moon. Salvo, Angelo, and Tanina were all incredibly kind. A truly special evening.

Superlative cuisine, with the freshest ingredients, made even more enjoyable by the kindness and smiles of the waiting staff! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

A family-run trattoria. Salvo, Matteo, Angelo, and Tanina, the staff are highly skilled in all aspects of service, and they make you feel at home with their welcoming approach to guests who enjoy dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Excellent first courses, excellent second courses of both seafood and meat, excellent desserts, and finally, their homemade liqueurs. You'll always want to return, and you can't go wrong. Enjoy it all on the most beautiful terrace in Ustica.

We dined at this restaurant during a vacation in Ustica with our children, all of whom were here for a few days of diving. It was a beautiful evening, with a view of the harbor, which at sunset and then with the evening lights creates a truly pleasant atmosphere. We started with an excellent octopus salad and a mixed fried squid and shrimp dish—crispy, dry, and not at all heavy. For our first courses, we chose spaghetti with squid ink, paccheri with seafood, and a fresh pasta with swordfish and cherry tomatoes. All dishes were well-prepared, rich in flavor, and the fresh fish really makes the difference. For our second course, I had grouper cooked with cherry tomatoes, olives, and capers. Perfectly cooked, the meat was tender and flavorful, with a sauce that enhanced the fish without overpowering its flavor. It's one of those dishes that perfectly captures Sicilian seafood cuisine. The service was always friendly and attentive, present without being intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our dinner in peace. The attention to detail is evident in both the cuisine and the hospitality. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Ustica, whether after a day at the beach or, as in our case, after a day of diving. A dinner that left us with a wonderful memory. Five stars, absolutely deserved.

Beautiful location, overlooking the sea. But the view wouldn't be worth much if the food weren't as excellent as it is, and if Salvo weren't there to serve you with his kindness, his charm, and his rare delicacy. Thank you. Highly recommended, go there and you'll agree with me! 🙂

I've eaten at this restaurant twice. On the first evening, upon arriving on the island, we were greeted by the charming father-and-son owners, who immediately made us feel like family. If you want to eat the freshest, beautifully cooked fish, I highly recommend it, not to mention the excellent seafood couscous, which you have to book in advance, though. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful ambiance with full sea views & excellent freshly prepared food.
