La Pescheria — Restaurant in Gaeta

I cannot recommend this place. The service was very slow. 4 of us had long finished our food by the time the 5th diner was served their spaghetti in plain sauce (non fish eater). The options are limited and they want you to order from the chilled display of fish. This might suit some but we felt that our waiter was guiding us through some options that would work out very very expensive by comparison to other items on the menu and other nearby restaurants. The worst part of our experience was that the staff seemed to be arguing a lot (even by passionate Italian standards) amongst themselves.
