Serving a varieties of local seafood dishes, paired with their excellent wine; I would ask the server what pairs well with the meal and then choose from their selection. Save room for their house desert as the portion size is for two people. The dessert wines are an excellent choice if you feel like something sweet but not filling.

Mediocre overpriced food with shocking service. The waiter could not be bothered to explain the menu and acted annoyed when we asked them to explain the menu. He could not wait to just take our order and get on his way. Manner is basically non-existent in this restaurant. We were already at a restaurant with an Italian friend. However, if you speak Italian, think twice. If you don’t, don’t even think about coming here. On another note, we overheard some people who came to this restaurant a few years ago were also shocked by the decline in the quality of both services and food. It turns out this restaurant changed hand a few years ago and explained why there are still so many good reviews on Google map.

Sad decline in quality of service and food since the new management took over. In addition, capricious rules about what dishes are available and when; and totally overpriced. We lament the loss of our favorite restaurant in San Felice.

This place by the seaside is not bad but the devil is in the details. First up, the service was excellent and our wine was delicious. The food could be better though. My wife's spaghetti vongole was too oily, the pasta was sightly undercooked (we like Al dente, it was truly undercooked) and the clams had a lot of sand still left in them. The waiter sold me on the fresh fish which wasn't on the menu and ended up being 35€. It was really quite tasty but again, too oily. The accompanying roasted potatoes were a touch too salty. Overall it was overpriced for the quality of the food but still an enjoyable experience.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and well executed meal on the west Italian coast. The view was incredible, the staff friendly, and the food- above all- excellent and fresh. Upon placing our orders, the server motioned us towards the back of the restaurant and showed us what fish we would be eating (sea bass), also presenting us with available substitutes. Twenty minutes later, he came back and showed us the preparation before deconstructing the fish and plating in front of us. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

I love the food in the restaurant and the charming setting. I had a great lunch time there, I loved it! Specially the dessert. The host was nice and very welcoming. Me and my friends are planning to visit again when in the city. The price is reasonable and the service is great!

I was visiting my italian friend, who took me to this place one afternoon to have an early dinner. Food was amazing, our server was very nice (even though i didn't understand a lot of what he was saying i could conclude that he was trying very hard to make sure we have a nice meal and that everything is to our taste). Prices are not too expensive, and it was definitely worth the money.

Beautiful beach without any beach accessories such as shower, umbrellas etc. Anyhow the views are great and the water clear as it comes...

(Translated by Google) Beach located near the port of San Felice Circeo, not very large. To reach it you can park in the port car park with a parking disc (2 hours) or at a cost of €1 per hour for as long as you want and from there you can get directly to the beach (there are 10 steps and not a descent so it is not accessible for everyone). The beach is very pretty, it is located directly under the Circeo mountain, in fact when it's 5am it's already all in the shade so maybe I recommend going there in the morning. The water is of a wonderful colour, there are fantastic colors and the water remains low (almost 2 metres) up to 50 meters of the shore and the first 20 meters is not even knee high so perfect for children too. There near the There are also various parking spaces and bars and restaurants if needed. I don't think I've seen umbrellas or sunbeds for rent on the beach, it's a completely free beach with no lifeguards, but it's correct that there are rubbish bins on the beach. (Original) Spiaggia situata vicino il porto di San Felice Circeo non molto grande. Per raggiungerla si può parcheggiare nel parcheggio del porto con disco orario (2 ore) oppure al costo di 1€ l'ora quanto tempo si vuole e da lì si arriva direttamente in spiaggia (ci sono 10 scalini e non una discesa quindi non è accessibile per tutti). La spiaggia è molto carina, si trova direttamente sotto la montagna del Circeo, infatti quando sono le 5 è già tutta ombra quindi magari consiglio di andarci al mattino. L'acqua é di un colore stupendo, ci sono dei colori fantastici e l'acqua rimane bassa (quasi 2 metri) fino a 50 metri della riva ed i primi 20 metri è altezza ginocchia nemmeno quindi perfetta per i bambini anche.Lì vicino al parcheggio ci sono anche vari e bar e ristoranti nel caso servisse. In spiaggia non mi pare di aver visto affitto ombrelloni o lettini, è completamente spiaggia libera senza bagnini, ma corretto che ci sono i secchi per l'immondizia in spiaggia.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach! Crystal-clear water and fine sand. Convenient parking in the port square, making it quick and easy to get to. (Original) Bellissima spiaggia! Acqua cristallina e sabbia fine. Comodo parcheggio nel piazzale dal porto dal quale è facile raggiungerla in un attimo.

(Translated by Google) Nice beach behind the port, you can leave your car there and use the facilities (restaurants, cafes) for every need. The water is shallow for a long stretch. This summer it was partially cordoned off due to landslides from the rocky ridge (Original) Spiaggia carina alle spalle del porto, si può lasciare lì la macchina ed usufruire dei locali (ristoranti, caffè) per ogni necessità. L'acqua è bassa per un lungo tratto. Quest' estate è stat transennata in parte per frane dal costone roccioso

(Translated by Google) The beach at the Port of San Felice Circeo is a little gem nestled between the promontory and the crystal-clear sea. The atmosphere is relaxing, with a panorama that combines rocks, golden sand, and the profile of Mount Circeo in the background. The water is clear and calm, ideal for those who love swimming or simply enjoying a quiet dip. Nearby, there are bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious meal, and at sunset, the view of the port is truly breathtaking. It's a beach that combines natural beauty, tranquility, and comfort—perfect for a rejuvenating day. (Original) La spiaggia del Porto di San Felice Circeo è un piccolo gioiello incastonato tra il promontorio e il mare cristallino. L’atmosfera è rilassante, con un panorama che unisce scogli, sabbia dorata e il profilo del monte Circeo sullo sfondo. L’acqua è limpida e calma, ideale per chi ama nuotare o semplicemente godersi un bagno tranquillo. Vicino ci sono bar e ristorantini dove mangiare bene, e al tramonto la vista sul porto è davvero suggestiva. È una spiaggia che unisce bellezza naturale, tranquillità e comodità — perfetta per una giornata rigenerante

(Translated by Google) A place close to my heart! Crystal-clear water and a proper connection to the beach, and in a natural way, without any resorts! (Original) Un posto del cuore per me! acqua cristallina e contatto con la. spiaggia come si deve, e in modo naturale senza stabilimenti!

(Translated by Google) The beach, which has expanded considerably, is very beautiful. The sea is beautiful when it's calm. (Original) La spiaggia, che si è notevolmente allargata, è molto bella. Il mare quando è calmo è bellissimo.

Really beautiful view on top

Snorkeling!

(Translated by Google) Stunning location, the view from sunrise to sunset is superb. The settlement is, however, private, and access to the beautiful view is inaccessible so it can only be enjoyed from below, by sea. (Original) Location stupenda, la vista dall'alba al tramonto è superba. L'insediamento è, però, privato, e l'accesso al bel vedere è inaccessibile per cui la si può godere solo dal basso, via mare.

(Translated by Google) The access to the path is hidden by vegetation, and a part of the passage has collapsed onto the private road. However, it is possible to go down from the collapsed piece and continue on this road. Access from the red tip lighthouse is much easier. (Original) L'accesso al sentiero è nascosto dalla vegetazione, e una parte del passaggio è franata sulla strada privata. Proprio dal pezzo franato però é possibile scendere e proseguire su tale strada. Molto più agevole l'accesso dal faro di punta rossa.

(Translated by Google) What can I say, I could do a review of Torre Fico in great detail, but I'll just post some wonderful photos. (Original) Che dire potrei fare la recensione di torre fico nei minimi particolari, ma mi limito solo a pubblicare qualche stupenda foto.

(Translated by Google) The view is beautiful, the tower is nothing special in my opinion, however the road to get there is private and you cannot enter. It can only be seen from afar. For me it's not worth it.... There are even more beautiful views in the places I go back to like Punta Rossa. (Original) Il panorama è bello, la torre non è niente di ché a mio parere, comunque la stradina per arrivarci è privata e non si può entrare. Si può vedere solo da lontano. Per me non vale la pena.... Ci sono panorami anche più belli nei luoghi i torno come punta rossa.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and very characteristic place with breathtaking views. The trail to get there is a bit challenging, but it's worth it. (Original) Luogo bello e molto caratteristico con vista mozzafiato. Un pochino impegnativo il sentiero per arrivarci ma ne vale comunque la pena.

nice lunch overlooking the port of San Felice Circeo.. only suggestion would be to have some umbrellas handy for sunny days in the garden seating area... 🌞🥵 other than that, service & food (and ambiance) were 👌🏼.. easy parking.. a couple free slots one level down closer to boats 😉

Exceptional service,really good food and really fresh fish,tables with nice view to the Harbor.

The restaurant has indoor, outdoor, and across-the-street seating areas, so if you're making a reservation, please be specific about your preferences. Serving local seafood with large portions, I recommend sharing plates, and if you still long for more, there are other excellent meals on the menu. It is also good to experience different dining options in the area for the price point.

All I can say is there were many flies around while we were eating. It was frustrating not being able to enjoy the food and the view. For me, I got the Antipasto,it was long and were many small bites of everything. Worth the price you paid.

This is such a nice restaurant. Very busy, even when it is out of season. Food was great. Service very nice. And lots of local people, so that confirms what we noticed: it is very wonderful to be here.

Wonderful service and atmosphere. The food was superb, they really the artist of the food. Well done guys I will be back next time I come back to Italy

Excellent service from Marco - helpful and honest. Food a bonus with kind offers from the kitchen and excellent fresh seafood. Big tasty portions. This tuna 3 ways followed excellent oysters and calamari and accompanied by lovely local whites

Very rude people very average not worth the money the manager is arrogant and looks down at you and god knows why . The food very average my advice go to the restaurants on the Main Street better service better atmosphere

Top

TOP!!!!

Mediocre

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and charming location. The wait between courses is a bit long, but since it's always busy, that's understandable. The food is excellent, and the two young men serving are courteous and always available. We had a small problem with one course, but they were understanding and very kind. The prices are a bit high, but worth it. (Original) Location bellissima e suggestiva. Tempi di attesa tra una portata e l’altra un po lunghi ma essendo sempre pieno può essere comprensibile cibo ottimo e i due ragazzetti che servono sono cortesi e sempre disponibili. Abbiamo avuto un problemino con una portata ma sono stati comprensibili e molto gentili. prezzi un po’ alti ma ne vale la pena

(Translated by Google) What can I say, we ate wonderfully! A small restaurant in the San Felice port area, right on the seafront on a small beach. The food was exceptional, the service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I hope to return soon! (Original) Che dire, abbiamo mangiato benissimo! Ristorantino sulla zona del porto di san felice proprio fronte mare su una piccola spiaggetta , i piatti sono stati eccezionali il servizio molto cordiale , un ambiente molto accogliente ☺️ spero di tornarci presto !!

Sure! Here’s a review based on your description: I was truly amazed by this restaurant; it is one of the most refined culinary experiences I've had in Italy. Dining here at night is a remarkable experience, as each dish beautifully complements the others. The flavors and presentation create an unforgettable ambiance. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to indulge in a unique gastronomic adventure!

Beautiful but service is absolutely crap!!

I had many empty clams in my Spagetti alle Vongole. They brought me many 😆 extra without charge!!! That alone is a big plus!!

Avoid this place like the plague, expensive for what is offered, some of the staff are alright but the old guy responsible for the umbrellas and deck chairs is REALLY rude, impolite, confrontational, aggressive and disrespectful. My family had a similar business for many years in Rio de Janeiro (I've worked there doing a similar function too) and we would NEVER in a million years treat a customer the way this man treated me and my family. We asked about the possibility of moving closer to the water with the chairs and this man started saying things like: "You come to my house and you want to choose where to sit?", then he proceeded to become confrontational and we immediately asked for our money back and left. Do not come here!

We had an amazing dinner, the tartar di tono was excellent and so where the other dishes, I had the pan a cotta with tomato and also the chocolate zaffran desert and they where great.

Fish was good.

Amazing

It’s amazing and charming place. It takes nearly 15-20 minutes to go down the “stairs” to the cave. But be careful!!!! It’s not easy to find those stairs. I’ll attach some screenshots how to find them, they’re on the parking. Everyone needs to visit this place.

Beautiful place for sea and nature in Circeo National Park!! Awesome place and location with clear sea!! 🇮🇹🏞️💧

Gorgeous views! The cave is also quite impressive. You do need stable walking shoes to get there because the path is very rocky and hard to navigate, though not long (takes about 20 min from the small parking lot).

It was closed when i visited in April first week. Maybe because of orange zone in Lazio. I would recommend you to visit this place if you are around this place.

Beautiful spot for some meditation or relaxation. There are some tables to make a pic nique. The big (-) there is no enter in the water so you can stay and enjoy the view but you can't swim :(

Bring some light and explore the cave! The gate is closed, but as many writes: it's easy to pass. The path down is short and easy, but I would still recomend good shoes. No facilities on site.

Amazing grotto just beneath the town of San Felice Circeo. The road to the parking spot is rocky and dusty- offroad abilities beneficial. The way to the grotto is rocky, but firm ropes are available everywhere for grip and the whole trek is very safe. The view at the end is spectacular - see to it that you don't miss the nearby smaller Grotta del Fossellone either. Walks into the depths of the grotto should only be done with guides.

Beautifull

(Translated by Google) Stunning place. Crystal clear water, you will spend moments of absolute relaxation. I recommend bringing as much water as possible (Original) Luogo stupendo. Acqua cristallina , trascorrerete momenti di assoluto relax. Consiglio di portare più acqua possibile

(Translated by Google) It is a cave that is not well known but very beautiful due to a monolithic stalactite that hangs from the roof of the cave. It can be reached from the sea or from a hole in the ground (be careful) which can be reached by going west from above the goat cave (Original) E' una grotta non molto conosciuta ma molto bella per una stalattite monolitica che pende dal tetto della grotta. Si raggiunge dal mare oppure da un foro nel terreno (fare attenzione) che si raggiunge andando verso ovest da sopra la grotta delle capre

(Translated by Google) Great, quite large grotto. The somewhat arduous descent is definitely worth it. (Original) Tolle, recht große Grotte. Der etwas beschwerlichen Abstieg lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

(Translated by Google) fantastic location, picturesque atmosphere, always cool and ventilated climate (Original) località fantastica, moto suggestiva clima fresco e ventilato sempre

(Translated by Google) One of my favorite caves in the area, there is a fairly wide tunnel that allows you to see the cave from inside and admire the stalactite that gives its name to the cave. (Original) Una delle mie grotte preferite della zona, c'è un cunicolo abbastanza largo che permette di vedere la grotta dall'interno e di ammirare lo stalattite che dà nome alla grotta.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful and imposing. The path that reaches it is easy to follow. (Original) Meravigliosa e imponente. I sentiero che la raggiunge è di facile percorrenza.

Ok

Great experience, if you want to try local food this is the right place. The maître of the restaurant was so knowledgeable, she went through all of the dishes and explained everything. The food was so tasty well done to the chef, I recommend getting the tortelloni-filled cod fish with zucchini cream. Yum 😋

Hidden, nice litte place ✨️ The food were tasteful and the service efficient. The bread was good, but be aware that it cost 4€.

One of the best meals we had in 2 weeks in Italy! Loved the wines, desserts, and fish of the day. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect!

The best spot we happened to stumble across in San felice!! The gnocchi I ordered was absolutely incredible. Loved the desserts as well, highly recommend!!

Great food and service. Located right in the middle of a wonderful small piazza. Highly recommend the gnocci and the biscotteria desert

Very friendly Host and excellent food! Charming historical location.

good

Since we left the restaurant we keep wondering how did they managed to have 133 reviews of 5 stars. It is a shame for the italian cuisine. A terrible disappointment and a maximum bewilderment about how this restaurant given that is mostly empty and obviously a tourist trap. The food is execrable, inedible, and the pretention to be a gourmet restaurant is obviously denied by the way of preparation: definitely a fast food (a rizzoto cannot be prepared just in five minutes). by the appearance of the dishes on the table: absolutely disgusting and by the way, everything looks terrible, this restaurant beeing without any doubt nothing else than a trap for tourists. I strogly recommend to be avoided by everybody. for all the good reasons. Last but not least, it should be mentioned that although we could not eat anything and refused everything, the bill was paid in full as they requested. A total disaster!

(Translated by Google) A simply unforgettable evening. La Scogliera is not just a restaurant: it is an experience that involves the senses and the heart. From the warm welcome of the staff - prepared, smiling and attentive - to the last sip of wine, every detail is taken care of with passion. We dined with dishes that to define as "gourmet" is an understatement: a shrimp tartare with passion fruit, crunch and licorice with squid ink that left us speechless; octopus with potatoes very tender and rich in flavor; risotto with freshly caught corn, scented with mint oil and licorice - a refined and surprising explosion. All accompanied by an excellent Gewürztraminer served to perfection. After dinner, a walk on the port closed a perfect evening. A place that I not only recommend, but where I will return every time I want to treat myself to a real treat. Thank you for making an already important day for us special. 💫 Rating: 10 cum laude (Original) Una serata semplicemente indimenticabile. La Scogliera non è solo un ristorante: è un’esperienza che coinvolge i sensi e il cuore. Dall’accoglienza calorosa del personale – preparato, sorridente e attento – fino all’ultimo sorso di vino, ogni dettaglio è curato con passione. Abbiamo cenato con piatti che definire “gourmet” è riduttivo: una tartare di gambero con maracuja, crunch e liquirizia al nero di seppia che ci ha lasciato senza parole; polpo con patate tenerissimo e ricco di gusto; risotto alle pannocchie appena pescate, profumato con olio alla menta e liquirizia – un’esplosione raffinata e sorprendente. Il tutto accompagnato da un ottimo Gewürztraminer servito alla perfezione. Dopo cena, una passeggiata sul porto ha chiuso una serata perfetta. Un posto che non solo consiglio, ma in cui tornerò ogni volta che vorrò regalarmi una coccola vera. Grazie per aver reso speciale un giorno già importante per noi. 💫 Voto: 10 e lode

(Translated by Google) A pleasant discovery. This restaurant is relatively new to the Circeo scene and I was pleasantly surprised. The recipes are original but without distorting the flavors of the ingredients (the bruschetta with belly pork is excellent), and the service is attentive and knowledgeable, even when it comes to wine recommendations. I recommend trying it. (Original) Una piacevole scoperta. Questo ristorante è relativamente nuovo sulla scena del Circeo e mi ha piacevolmente colpito. Le ricette sono originali ma senza snaturare i sapori delle materie prime (ottima la bruschetta con ventresca), il servizio attento e preparato anche nel consigliare i vini. Consiglio di provarlo.

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable experience. I came for dinner with a friend last night and we were pleasantly surprised. Filippo, the owner, welcomed us with a smile and attentiveness to every detail. We dined, and with each course, Filippo honored us with a detailed explanation of what we were about to eat, as well as with the wine selection, his greatest passion, which he has made a true profession out of. Top-quality ingredients and high-quality cuisine. Everything homemade (pasta, bread, breadsticks, butter). The wait times were just right. The location was super welcoming, as were the restaurant owners. The place was spotless and elegant. A real guarantee, we will definitely be back. Highly recommended. (Original) Un'esperienza da non dimenticare. Sono venuta a cena con una mia amica ieri sera e siamo rimaste piacevolmente sorprese. Filippo, nonché proprietario del posto, ci ha accolte sorridente e attento nel minimo dettaglio. Abbiamo cenato e ad ogni portata che ci è arrivata Filippo ci ha onorato con una spiegazione dettagliata di ciò che stavamo per mangiare così come con la scelta del vino, sua più grande passione di cui ne ha fatto una vera e propria qualifica. Materie di prima qualità e cucina di alto livello. Tutto home made (pasta, pane, grissini, burro). Tempi di attesa giusti. La location super accogliente, tanto quanto i proprietari del ristorante. Luogo pulitissimo ed elegante. Una vera e propria garanzia, torneremo sicuramente. Super consigliato.

(Translated by Google) Impeccable service, quality raw materials and high-level cuisine. An experience that stays in the heart. A family that puts passion and commitment into it and it shows! Compliments to Filippo for the care in describing the dishes and for the advice of a true sommelier for the choice of the many wines available. Unmissable if you are on Circeo! (Original) Servizio impeccabile, materie prime di qualità e cucina di alto livello. Un’esperienza che resta nel cuore. Una famiglia che ci mette passione e impegno e si vede! Complimenti a Filippo per la cura nella descrizione dei piatti e per i consigli da vero sommelier per la scelta dei tanti vini a disposizione. Imperdibile se siete sul Circeo!

(Translated by Google) I had lunch with a friend of mine, we had a raw appetizer, two first courses, sweet, bitter and coffee. The appetizer was really delicious, the quality was immediately noticeable and you can also see it from the video… The first courses were also very very good, but above all abundant! They have a nice selection. The dessert didn't drive me crazy, I mean it was good for goodness sake, but it was really a little taste and it cost €12😅 A bit excessive in my opinion, in the end it's a dessert… For the rest, highly recommended, the location is very nice and the service very friendly and attentive! They asked us countless times if everything was okay 😂 I'll be back! (Original) Sono stato a pranzo con una mia amica, abbiamo preso un antipasto di crudi, due primi dolce, amaro e caffè. Antipasto veramente buonissimo, la qualità si percepiva subito e si vede anche dal video… I primi anche molto molto buoni, ma soprattutto abbondati! Hanno una bella scelta. Il dolce non mi ha fatto troppo impazzire, nel senso era buono per carità, ma era veramente un assaggino e costava 12€😅 Un po’ eccessivo secondo me, alla fine è un dolce… Per il resto super consigliato, molto carina la location e il servizio molto cordiale e attento! Ci hanno chiesto infinite volte se andava tutto bene 😂 Tornerò!
