La Catagna

We went to this restaurant because it seemed to have a good reputation. I found it quite hard, because there are no signs to it, it is necessary to ask the residents of the area. We didn't have a reservation, but we were accepted, anyway there were only customers at another table. The first impression was that the fame of the place is given by the splendor of the surrounding landscape: the sea, Cape Miseno, the perspective towards the Sorrento Peninsula and the island of Capri. Magnificent indeed, you can completely forget about food and drink. But it's still a restaurant. What was unexpected was that we did not receive a menu, there was no such thing, the offer was recited to us by a lady who was going to serve us. Anyway, a menu establishes a contractual form with the customer, who can see what he will order, what the product he will swallow is made of, how much it will cost. We couldn't take a whole bottle of wine, unfortunately, because one of us was going to drive the car and the other was having medical treatment. I only asked for two glasses, but the quantity was one of austerity. Beyond these and other small aspects that do not affect the quality of the food, it can be said that it was a good experience. (Another small observation, but valid for many waiters: it would be desirable for the customer not to be asked what he wants to order next, as long as he is still eating. Even less if his mouth is full and it is a bit embarrassing to answer in that posture). We got a number of seafood specialties, different from what we have eaten at other restaurants along the coasts of Italy. I must point out that the pasta, in particular, was fabulous! I also had dessert, so I could compare the Caprese and Millefoglie cakes with those tasted in many other places. The final price was around the anticipated amount, about double that of a common restaurant.

This place is amazing - thank you for your warm welcome. We were in this lovely restaurant a few times and were always treated by the owner, Elio as part of a family. This place is full of good atmoshere and the food is so delicious. You can feel the soul of the place and the food is prepared with the heart! Desserts are so tasty (prepared by Elio's brother). And, we cannot forget the beutiful view with the history behind! We give six stars! Kate nad Mike xxx

Delicious food and beautiful views! Really friendly staff as well. We didn't have a reservation but they still managed to seat us and were apologetic that they didn't have a different table. Our view was still excellent. Really incredible and fresh seafood. They have parking available as well, just a bit before the restaurant. I'd recommend making a reservation.
