This spot was recommended to my partner and I by our B&B host as the spot where locals go for seafood - he wasn't wrong!
We got a table on their outdoor patio and got to watch a beautiful sunset as we enjoyed our meal. The only difficulty we had, which was to be expected at a place that the locals go to, was the language barrier was a bit hard to cross. They have a huge menu and almost none of it is in English (also our waiter spoke little english, but was extremely friendly regardless). We decided to take a shot in the dark and ask our waiter for a plate of fresh fish - whatever he recommended that day, and we also split a side salad. When the plate came, it was a beautiful array of 2 preparations of prawns, squid, a cut of white fish, stuffed mussels, and more. Everything was so fresh and tasty! They even wheel around a little boat filled with ice and topped with the day's fresh catch (still moving) if that tickles your fancy. We finished our meal with a delicious tiramisu. It was a wonderful recommendation, so if you ever find yourself in Civitaveccia, wander outside the port area to find the true food gems! read more
