Pasta with fresh clams, olive oil, garlic and parsley. A classic Tyrrhenian coast dish, prized for very fresh local shellfish.
Rice slowly cooked with cuttlefish and its ink, giving a deep sea flavour and black colour common in coastal Lazio cooking.
Small fried fish such as anchovies and whitebait, lightly floured and served hot. A staple of seaside meals around Santa Marinella.
Refined seafront dining with seafood specialities and Mediterranean dishes, suited to a slower lunch or dinner by the water.
Established seafood restaurant near the seafront, known for fish dishes, shellfish and a relaxed traditional atmosphere.
Popular pizzeria and restaurant serving Roman-style pizzas, pasta and seafood in a casual family-friendly setting.
