Very lovely place in Procida, the fried calamari are excellent, the service as well, and the view of the harbor is incredible 😻

The restaurant is in a very beautiful location on the island. It is certainly a historic establishment with an attached hotel. Clean, tidy, the staff is skilled and attentive. In general, the food is excellent and the prices are in line with the very high quality. We had raw shrimp and small swordfish and eggplant meatballs as an appetizer, an octopus genovese, and a turbot that was baked for us with potatoes. A very discordant note in all of this was the fried calamari: pieces stuck together, soggy frying, but above all bitter and on the verge of being burnt. Something absolutely not up to the standard of the rest of the dinner. Honestly, we had the feeling that the oil used was really too old. We hope it was a mistake, but honestly, I would not test it to find out.

The place is nice, the staff is kind and quick, but the pizza... is not their art. Hard dough and sauce with an acidic taste. Very disappointed. I expected better given the other reviews.

As starters we mostly had sea food and it was 10/10. Soft, fresh, the taste was amazing. Fried calamari were great, lemon salad amazing. Also the desert, yum! We unfortunately didn’t take any photos but that’s a good sign because the food was too good to stop experiencing it to take photos. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful!
