The best seafood restaurants Italy

An elegant restaurant with small private lounges, renowned in Desenzano. The service is attentive and discreet. The chef, originally from Sardinia, offers a delicious and inventive cuisine mainly based on fish.

Very beautiful hotel located on the seafront in the heart of Positano. Seafood specialties such as linguine alle vongole (clams).

Excellent address for its various fresh fish specialities that are brought to you on a tray to choose them. If the door is closed, don't hesitate to knock! Beautiful terrace on the via Emanuele prohibited to cars. Reservation required in high season. Very nice Sicilian and international wine list. The establishment also has rooms for rent.

We love this restaurant which was recommended to us by the Hotel Corallaro. It is not a beach restaurant, you will not have your feet in the water, but your taste buds will remember it! At Pema we serve a bistronomic cuisine worthy of the best restaurants on the island. The refinement of the cuisine and the associations of flavors moved us: unforgettable linguine with sea anemone! As for the cooking of the octopus, it was just perfect. The decoration is superb, modern with a rustic touch, the staff and the chef are adorable. Bravo !

When a restaurateur tells you that people from Cagliari come to his place (an hour's drive away) just to taste the fish, we're doubtful. But once you get your feet under the table, everything becomes magical. Antonello is more than a chef, he's a true goldsmith. We were blown away by his refined and inventive recipes. Bravo maestro, we're verging on gastronomy! Unsurprisingly, this is the best restaurant in Mandas and the region. We were also won over by the kindness of the man who told us his story... to the music of Phil Collins.

"Ottimo" is Italian for "excellent". Excellent setting, you couldn't dream of a better place at the foot of the dunes, with a view that embraces the entire beach. Excellent, uncompromising seafood cuisine: Andrea decides on the menu only the day before, as his entire philosophy is based on the products of the local catch. Among all the delights, we succumbed to the "confit" octopus, quite simply exceptional. For wines, close your eyes and let Simona advise you. All in all, Mates offers a true gastronomic experience. It's magical!

The Nascar Hotel's restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best in the area. The careful selection of top quality products such as local red shrimp (so fresh that they are offered raw or marinated) or fish returns gives the cuisine a lightness and authenticity that is unmatched. Typical dishes like fregula or fish ravioli are executed to perfection. A few steps from the sea, the tables are set in a garden of holm oaks lit by the moon and candlelight ... Magical!

Gastronomic restaurant run by four brothers who share the kitchen, the dining room and the wine cellar. Refined and creative, the cuisine offers a fine balance of flavours and textures: the finesse of the seafood is enhanced by the sweet acidity of a citrus fruit or the fruity bitterness of an olive oil, the delicate flesh of a fish is combined with a crispy crumble or a mousseline. Attentive service and homemade digestif served on the terrace overlooking the sea.

This double star beach table was classified in 2011 by the Wall Street Journal among the top 10 fish restaurants in Europe. Known to be experimenter, his chef Moreno Cedroni works in cooking as a researcher in his laboratory and reinterprets the fish as a person. «A terrible child» of Italian and international cuisine, it combines the gastronomic tradition of the Marche with its avant-garde spirit brilliantly. As you will have understood, an essential stopover for fish lovers.

A brand dedicated to seafood, where all the raw materials have been carefully selected. Good cooking that likes to revisit classic recipes with a certain finesse and always keeping the course towards the renewed pleasure of authentic flavours. To begin the festivities, order the Fantasia dello chef , composed of various and tasty preparations of fish, seafood and vegetables. Continue with one of the delicious primi, such as the homemade ravioli of the sea with vongole and arugula pesto.

An address not to be missed if you are passing through Savelletri. Fish and seafood are served raw. They are of course very fresh because you are here in a fishmonger's shop. "No salt or olive oil": this is the advice of the owner, Vito, to get the best possible taste of the sea. The large carpaccio allows you to taste about six different fish and seafood, depending on the day's catch. Many tartars and the possibility of choosing oysters, shrimps, etc., individually. To be accompanied by a good glass of local white wine.

The décor is a little rococo, with gilding and red velvet in a subdued setting, tailor-made for dinner rather than lunch. The menu will delight fish lovers, especially raw fish (tartares, ceviche, carpaccio), as here the chef, who handles the riches of the sea to perfection, has created a special menu of raw dishes. He offers two copious gourmet menus at reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of the dishes, one of which focuses on raw antipasti. All Rome is clamoring for a table here, so remember to make reservations.

Opened in 2020, in the heart of the Marina district, this address is particularly appealing to ichthyophagous, or more simply to lovers of fish and seafood! Because here, from antipasti (raw or cooked) to dishes, everything comes from the sea. You have been warned! Sea bass or sea bream tartar, spaghetti with cockles and bottarga, ravioli with the fish of the day, linguine with lobster for the most chic among you... A real treat. As for the decor, old photos and fishing traps form a nice jumble. Don't forget to book, especially in the evening.

The restaurant of the hotel Pop with its splendid terrace is known in the whole region. The large, shady terrace welcomes you to enjoy shellfish and fish caught on the day. The speciality is sea bream and other fish cooked in a salt crust, but you can also enjoy fresh homemade pasta and the best typical dishes of the region. A superb list of local wines, Sardinian liqueurs and homemade desserts, need we say it? Quality dishes and choice at a reasonable price. Really a good address.

Perched on the heights of Bosa, you have to be prepared to climb several steps to get there. But the effort is worth it, because the Borgo San't Ignazio offers another atmosphere, another setting, nestled in the heart of the medieval district of Bosa. The beautiful vaulted room with stone walls and irregular plastering betrays the age of this house. Here you can taste Sardinian cold meats and cheeses, fish al forno, pasta al dente or seadas al miele. The terrace occupies half of the alleyway, installed under the vine or in the sun.

Probably one of the restaurants in this part of the coast enjoying the best situation along the sea. The wooden terrace directly overlooks the private beach of the establishment: If you want to tell you, you can rest in a transat in the shade of a parasol after lunch. As for the kitchen, it favours seafood products with various antipasti, various pasta dishes such as vongole spaghetti, and large fritures plateaus, all sprinkled with a good Trebbiano of the region at competitive prices.

The restaurant is located a few steps from the Quirinal Palace and Monti. It is known for its fish specialities, recipes based on a first-class raw material, purchased every day at the market. The well-trained team offers a competent and professional service. The welcome is warm and the atmosphere relaxing, in an elegant and minimalist context with light colours. All that remains is to let yourself be tempted by the starters based on excellent raw fish and the different dishes. Personalized recipes for a kitchen with character!

This excellent fish restaurant evokes a time when bluefin tuna were common in the waters of the Mediterranean. Luckily, there are many other pelagic resources that end up nicely cooked, such as this pasta with langoustines, this squid stew or these large tagliatelle mixed with fresh tomatoes and mussels. But the speciality to taste absolutely is the cascà, a variety of Tunisian couscous. One sits on one of the two sheltered terraces, with no view, but with comfortable high chairs.

In the lively Via Urbana, in the heart of the Monti district, this intimate and trendy address offers traditional and inventive cuisine. The chef's interpretation of the recipes is appreciated as much for the elegant presentation of the dishes as for their flavor. A warm and comfortable place where the owners have brought a special touch to the decoration. A reference point in this neighborhood for quality cuisine at the right price. Reservations are recommended as there are many regulars. To discover!
