Had a very good lunch at this gourmet-like seafood restaurant. The place was very busy also due to a celebration that was taking place, so we didn't have the maximum of attention by the staff, but was ok. Excellent seafood menu, great starters, good past and good second plate. Some dishes are marked as signature dishes on the menu. We paid 70⬠and were overall satisfied.

5 nights of near luxury living, superb room, very clean and recently decorated. Adorned with some rather nice vintage and antique artefacts. Very attentive but friendly staff. Lots of quiet corners in which to sit and relax especially the splendid pool area, which in itself was perfectly laid out and offered seclusion and peace. ( I hate swimming pools by the way, but this one I could enter at all times no deeper than my chest when standing ). The only downside was the limited menu for dinner , both the daily and al a carte. Only one choice I went for was the Tempura prawns starter and the mains sea bass. Overall though , a touch of class for a reasonable price.

We had a great meal, with a great view and great service. On top of that, the highlight of the whole experience was our conversation with Renaissance-man restauranteur and jewelry artist extraordinaire, Paulo Tommasini. I don't know how long my wife and I chatted with Paula after dinner, but it was so enjoyable, accompanied by his own limoncello and, after complimenting that, he served us some of his unique fennel liquor. All this was enhanced by the lovely view from our table on the second-story balcony overlooking the sunset and harbor.We had two courses each and a decent 20E white wine. All four of our dishes were superb. I had a wonderful black rice risotto with clams, mussels and prawns while Mary had a cold bluefish salad with small beans. My main was a very generous misto di mare (not what it's called on the menu) of perfectly lightly fried prawns, callimari, sardines and a whole small fish. Mary had the restaurant's signature Zuppa di Peschi which was mostly fish in a wonderful rich broth. It was just loaded with clams, mussels, pieces of white fish, callimari and large prawns. The emphasis certainly was on the fish rather than the broth. (The only thing neither of us likes were the small - less than one inch - clams in both our main courses. They were too small to hassle with the body meat and too small to not occasionally crunch on by accident. Maybe they were there to add flavor or a visual accent. Anyway, two very experienced seafood diners did not appreciate them. Probably something we don't understand.)The meal, at ~115E, was not cheap, but was worth every penny of it on our last night on a wonderful trip to southern Italy, thanks to the great food and even greater company of Paulo. Very highly recommended to seafood fanatics.

When you visit Italy you expect to get delicious food and the food here at our hotel certainly didn't disappoint, if anything it exceeded our expectations. From the beautiful local black pig through to the delicious wines and home made bread we felt this was such a lovely place to eat we ate there 2 out of 3 nights during our stay. It is a little more expensive than some of the other places in town but worth every penny.

Situated right in Maratea's marina it gets top marks for convenience and would also be perfect for people with a young family. Whilst the food is pretty much standard Italian cafe fare, it was served efficiently, was from good fresh produce and inexpensive with a good casual atmosphere.
