The Cesar - LADISPOLI

The ambience with the ocean beneath your terrace seating is special. The food is fresh, sensitively prepared and artfully presented. Service is excellent and the staff will help you select a wine that will pair well with your food. The zucchini fiori stuffed with homemade ricotta was excellent; the seafood crudo was the best that we've had anywhere.

The Cesar is a wonderful restaurant that’s part of a wonderful hotel, La Posta Vecchia. The food is simply delicious. The head chef and his staff work hard and offer well prepared, unpretentious food presented in elegant fashion. The friendly staff works equally hard and aims to please. Bordering on the sea, there are lots of seafood offerings along with homemade pasta dishes and fresh vegetables. We had sea bream, pasta and clams, fresh grilled tuna, pan seared spinach, a salad with a beautiful assortment of tomatoes and a delicious bottle of wine from Montepulciano. The wine list goes on to infinity here. The fresh baked bread was other worldly as has been the fresh baked pasties and croissants during breakfast.

I enjoyed a perfectly prepared dinner, prepared to meet my dietary requirements. The food is based on fresh produce and seafood. The service was perfect, and the setting relaxing. Beautiful surroundings and table settings. My purse had its own footstool!

Could not ask for a lovelier spot. See photo. I know that we pay a premium for prime real estate but this was one overpriced meal. Wife and i each had a pasta starter. Both basically six beautifully composed ravioli or tortelli with fish at basically 30 euro. I had a beer; wife reported the wine list was very overpriced so she passed on having a drink.’ Therefore, she was having sparkling water. When a bug decided to swim in her glass, she pointed this out to the waiter who immediately replaced the glass. But forgot to fill it again with water, and didn’t do it for a while until asked to do so. Similar issue with the bread. He placed our plate of bread down on our table same time as he did the next table to us. Then he poured the olive oil onto their bread plates, but didn’t do same for us, until we caught his eye again and then got it. We both had fish, wife the scorpionfish, and I had amberjack. Both were delicious, but very small portions. And the accompaniments described in the menu were ridiculously small remember jujubes candy? I had four potatoes the size of jujubes. So we finished our dinner feeling still a little hungry. So imagine how we felt when that table next to us described earlier got plates piled up with a gorgeous ham sandwich. I asked the maitre d about it. He said they had been at the hotel a few days and had worked their way through the menu, and asked for the sandwiches. Well, i don’t eat ham but could easily have had half that ham sandwich! I can appreciate that level of customer service that our neighbors enjoyed, but it was annoying to see an overloaded plate after dealing with the height of nouvelle cuisine silliness on ours. Dessert also fancy and high priced. 18 euro for a millefeuille. It was delicious, though not as light and flaky as it should be. Just before the check brought a plate with four small desserts each a macaron, a lemon mousse, a panna cotta, and a Nutella taste, each no larger than a quarter (whoops, I’m in Italy, should say a one euro coin.. . First three were ok, the last one was fabulous. Its an experience to stay at this hotel and part of the experience is the dinner. There’s no where else nearby for a good dinner; this is a luxury establishment in the midst of a blue collar resort. All in all, it served our purpose; we needed a place to eat and sleep before a morning departure from Roma airport. Far better than an airport hotel and far easier than going into Rome. The hotel itself is fabulous.
