Ristorante Capo D'Anzio — Restaurant in Anzio

Good food, not traditional, bad service.

We had heard a lot of things about traditional fish restaurants in Anzio. Our mistake that we didnt check the food of this restaurant.

To begin with, the waiter recomended our choice which was the 13 different apetizers. Then he said that we should have one main course to share. It was a good recomendation and enough food. Maybe we should skip the Main course. I do not understand why they call it apetizers because it is a lot of food and costs 18e per person. We also ordered a bittle of Prosecco that was in the menu but instead we got a sparkling wine and NOT a Prosecco. It was also not the one in the menu.

About the service that i complained, the apetizers where coming so fast and the waiter was just puting them anywhere on the table, so stressed, without even telling us what we got. On each different plate we had to ask "What is this?". This is something that you have to work on. The food was good but not something to be amazed. We really lost our good feeling by the speed that the courses were coming and not place to place them. (Look the picture).

Nobody asked us through the whole dinner if the food was ok. They just left the food and if they remember they took the empty the plates. I was watching arround and even to our next table the attention to the guests was better they were even puting them wine but not to us. Propably because we were not Italian. I got this feeling in 90% of restaurants in Italy. Too sad...

Payment time. Had to wait 15 minutes when finaly the waiter comes, picks our card and leaves. After 5 minutes somebody comes, he looked like he had a small complain, "It needs a password, come to put it". Yeah, we know but you just got the card and left without saying anything.

You should work on service routines guys. We are giving you our money to have a good time without stress. Not just to eat and go... 3 stars only because...

A nice restaurant with tasty food near the port (though without a sea view). Clean, cozy, and overall a pleasant place to dine.

However, there are a few downsides. The prices are slightly higher than in other places, probably due to the high demand. The staff were generally polite, but we did notice a slightly condescending attitude from one or two of them — perhaps because we were tourists and not locals. Maybe it was because we ordered limoncello at the beginning of the meal, which is not typical in Italy, where it’s usually served at the end. Still, this seems more like a personal issue rather than a reflection of the establishment — after all, a manager can’t completely shape someone’s personality.

As for the food: The tuna was absolutely amazing — bravo! The rice in the crustacean sauce was good, though we would have preferred a more intense flavor.

Overall, a good restaurant. I lowered my rating slightly because of the behavior of a few staff members. Recommended — especially for those who don’t mind...

Don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant has an embellished interior, but is a fraud in the port of Anzio. I give 1 star for the following reasons:

1. Poor (non-existent) service. Waiters are rude, inattentive, slow and forgetful.
2. Ridiculous portions. €15 for 4 ravioli on a big plate (see picture). Is that reasonable to you?
3. Ignorant to any covid rules whatsoever - face mask covering mouth and not nose (either put it on or off?), 25 people squeezed together in a small room.
4. Bad organisation from the kitchen. We were 6 people, and 5 received our plates at the same time. The last one received it 10 minutes later, once the rest of us were done.
5. 3 out of 6 in our group felt sick with nausea, diarrhea and stomach pain after the food.

I strongly advise you to find a better place to eat. This place is...
