34 Da Lucia

This was the best restaurant we ate at in the area — in part I have to say that this evaulation is also a consideration of it being great value for money. While most places have fish primi from 12 – 16 euros, his are 9 euro. We had a plate of fried calamari to start, super yummy (8 €). Two local fish primi (one with sardines from Cetara, the other with swordfish), which were ample and very good. If anything maybe a slight bit too oily for my tastes. Finished with a healthy green salad (very reasonable 3 €) which was truly fresh and tasty and came already dressed (rare in Italy) but perfectly, with quality oil you can taste and tangy vinegar. We just had water and a quarto of wine, but dinner for 2 came to only 35 euro. Seriously, can’t beat that. Service is friendly, atmosphere is family, my only complaint is that inside it got really loud when it was full. They have nice outside seating when it’s warm enough!

Loved this place. so welcoming and on a street that you can tell mostly locals walk by. the food was good– we started with the peppered mussels which were amazing and fresh (sand still in the shell!) and I had the seafood pasta which was also good. definitely come for the seafood, as the other dishes were not as amazing as the seafood ones. but what really made this place GREAT was the service. sooooo friendly, our waiter Sergio was so kind to us and helped us choose our meals– you could tell he was grateful and happy we were there (and surprised too as we are American!). he gave us limoncello at the end on the house. really a wonderful restaurant run by people who invite you into their home.

Recommended to us by the caretaker of the villa and we could not have been happier. We became fast friends with Sergio and Lucia. The food was fantastic and prices were very reasonable. This feels more like a locals place than one for tourists. With all of the restaurants to try it will be hard to top and most likely will be back to enjoy the food and our new found friends.

Really, really good frutti di mare pasta here and highly recommended by a local. It’s what they’re known for (hence that’s what all my friends and I got) and their seafood is so fresh. They have the option of spaghetti noodles or this giant type of pasta (I forgot what it’s called), and for 9 euros it’s really filling. Service charge is 1.5 euro, but they do serve bread on the house. They have a lot of other seafood options here as well.
Cute outdoor seating and friendly service!
