Circolino ponza — Restaurant in Ponza

We found this delightful restaurant whilst exploring some of the smaller bays next to the main port. There were 5 adults and 2 toddlers in our group.

We asked the chef if he could prepare some Penne Neopolitana for the little ones which they did without hesitation. The rest of us lunched on their bruschetta and pasta dishes which were extremely tasty.

The waiter, Adam, was exceedingly hospitable and welcoming, showing much interest in the toddlers and their well-being. He was one in a million.

One of the best experiences we have had on the island of Ponza, which is renowned for it's friendly and kind natured inhabitants.

Well done guys! We all LOVED your restaurant.

Oh, and that Limoncello was...

We spent the evening at Circolino. Didn’t have dinner so I can’t say much about the food itself but the prices are outrageous. The guy asked us if we want a table “upstairs” which is at regular restaurant’s terrace or at the beach. Of course we chose the beach. Little did we know that the additional service of 10€ will be added because of that… the drinks and finger food we ordered were regular. Nothing special but also nothing bad. What made this experience a bad one was the bill. We paid for 2 simple bruschettas with pomodorini 18€ ! These prices are not possible even in Via del Corso a Roma! Unfortunately we won’t be...

Premesso che dopo aver pagato 67€a testa, per 2 antipasti 2 primi e un secondo, totale 196 eurini, mi ritrovo a dover fare uno spuntino post cena… Partirei dalla location, carina, vista sulle barche sedie scomode piedi nella ghiaia, no se indossi tacchi, cibo, 4 piatti in croce, un ristorante di pesce senza la frittura nel menu, mi dà già da riflettere, sapori slegati in tutte le portate… sciatelli alle vongole surgelate , li avrei chiamati sciatelli ai gusci di vongola, neanche alle prime armi porti in tavola una pasta così liscia, senza un minimo di cremina da amido da cottura tipica delglj spaghetti alle vongole, senza olio, 3 vongole in un piatto, zero piccante zero sapore, voto3… tartare di tonno con salsina slegata, che non esalta nulla, neanche se stessa, priva di senso… prezzo decisamente alto a fronte di una qualità meno che mediocre, personale cortese. Mangiato poco pagato tanto. L’isola di Ponza è meravigliosa, ma si spreme il portafoglio del turista, senza passare dall’offrire ...
