Ristorante da Maria alla Corricella — Restaurant in Procida

Ristorante da Maria alla Corricella is an absolute gem on Procida. The views of the colourful marina and fishing boats alone are worth the visit, but what makes this place truly unforgettable is the authenticity and heart behind it.

I ordered the paccheri amberjack and it was exceptional – incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and exquisitely prepared. My only disappointment was that the serving size was so generous, I could not eat it all. You can taste the history of the island in every bite, reflecting the tradition of Maria, a true Italian fisherwoman whose legacy carries through the kitchen.

A very special mention must go to Haisam, who was the highlight of my dining experience. His knowledge of the menu, the island, and his ability to speak multiple languages made me feel completely at ease. As a solo traveller, it can be daunting to dine out, but he ensured I felt as though I was being welcomed into a family home, not just a restaurant for tourists. His warmth, professionalism, and personal touches made my birthday dinner something I will...

The view from the restaurant is truly beautiful, and the atmosphere invites you to stay and enjoy. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite live up to the surroundings. The waiter seemed rather annoyed when I asked about details regarding the food.

I ordered pasta with “Mixed Seafood” but was served only tuna instead – which was not what I expected and didn’t match the menu description. I also ordered white wine and waited for it, but it never arrived. Since we had to leave and didn’t have time to ask again, I didn’t follow up. However, when it came time to pay, the wine was on the bill. I had to argue with the staff to avoid paying for something I never received, and in the end, I was not charged for it.

The only bright spot was the female server, who was friendly and attentive.

Overall, despite the lovely location, I wouldn’t...

Lovely dockside restaurant- found this place just walking along the marina. The food was wonderful, really fresh, with generous portions. Started with the octopus salad which was a highlight. Tender and flavorful and honestly could probably have had that as an entree. Also had a delicious seafood pasta with some kind of fresh fish (unsure what kind but super delicious, perfectly cooked) with arugula and cherry tomatoes. We also ordered the fried calamari which was lightly breaded/fried and perfectly cooked and tender.

Overall, everything was wonderful. Delicious fresh seafood in a peaceful dockside environment. Service was good and at a relaxed pace. We met who I believe was Maria (fisherwoman) and she was very nice. If we didn’t live on the other side of the world, we would be...
