Isola del Pescatore — Restaurant in Santa Marinella

the location is beautiful , in front of the sea and the famous Santa severa castle. we arrived expecting for a table with sea view but when we arrived there was no place although it was established by phone that there was the possibility to have a place reserved there as we asked. when we arrived the rude waiter told that they are not able to ensure nothing , but I do think it's quite unprofessional to say to a client that they might have it just for the sake of getting more clients , otherwise we would not have comed. you should be sure when a client asks you if the tables in front of the sea will be occupied or not. indeed the waiter told us that the reservation in front of the sea follows the order of reservation, which I do agree; that's fair enough, but please just be honest about it. Also they called us again this morning and we proceeded to say that we wanted the place in front of the sea , and neither this morning they told anything about it. regarding the food, the quality price ratio isn't fair , though the food was good . Unfortunately there was the unpleasant situation of having bees around the food continuously and ants that sometimes crawl on the table but it's not a big of a deal. What I say it's that comparing to the prices, these things at least should be the bare minimum to avoid. however waiters were nice and kind and the...

Awful experience....don’t trust parking On our way from Tuscany to Rome, we wanted to stop for a good lunch. This restaurant had the best recommendations so we wanted to try it. Especially because you could park before the restaurant! BUT We were not allowed to park close to the restaurant from an older park guard,but were however glad to be able to pay for a parking a little further. After having payed to two girls, we went for lunch. We got a table in the back, very hot, and Service was not totally friendly but okay. Food was however good. But after lunch we went back to the car...no PARKING GUARD anymore...no luggage anymore... NOTHING left...we went back to the restaurant. They were friendly offered us some water and called the police...police would come...but after some time they said that the police wouldn’t come...but the responsible of the car parking come..luckily my husband went to the police in the meantime....because the help of the restaurant never came!!!! Strange .....strange aswell that nobody in this busy place saw anything!!! How is it possible that two girls right in front of your restaurant ask money to park the car, without knowing them.....I’m sorry we feel and are robbed...so even if food is good I would not recommend the place....not only because you will get robbed but especially because they don’t...

I am very disappointed to have to review Isola del Pescatore so poorly but unfortunately times have changed, and so has my opinion on this place.

This place used to be a family staple for years, the food is impeccable, the view is breathe-taking but unfortunately the ambiance and staff manners have spiraled and taint the experience as a whole. The restaurant has gained immense success over the years, which is a testament to how good the business model was conceived - despite a steep price increase (politely justified in their menu).

However I am sorry to have noticed that long gone are the days of it being a “cozy family-run shack by the castle”…arrogance can only go so far, no matter how delicious your food may taste or beautiful your views may be. Personally, I don’t want to be treated better only because I am more of a show-off of a customer of because I boast friendlier ties with...
