Il Caminetto - TERRACINA

Beside some places on Sicily is this one of the best seafood restaurants i have visited in Italy. Good fresh quality seafood and fantastic service (we went here with two small children).

The restaurant is located in the main street of Terracina. It 's clean with good tablecloths and big napkins, nice porcelain dishes and cristal glasses. The staff is very friendly and competent and Mario will give you a good advice for excellent wines which marry well with the dish or dishes which you will choose. Chef Nazzareno is doing wonderfull things with the fishes, gambas and several other seafood products, which he chooses daily at the fisherman 's Coop of Terracina. He is creative and not afraid to experiment with all those products. He is willing to discuss with you how to prepare the things you choose. During this visit we started with a 'crudo ' of seafood, then a fish risotto and as a maindish a seabass. All cooked to the perfection. With difficulty we still had a small place ileft for a dessert: a semifreddo of radicchio, which was not mentioned in the desert menu. This restaurant is a must if you pass in the aerea of Terracina and even if you have to make a detour of several kilometers you will be compensated by the excellent dishes and the creativity of Chef Nazzareno. IT 'S A MUST IF YOU ARE A FISH LOVER. Est, Est, Est 11

This is one of the 4 restaurants we had a pleasure to dine at during our stay in Terracina (a small seaside town south of Rome . Il Caminetto is a somewhat posh place, which is visible in the service staff being more reserved than one would expect from an Italian place. They 're helpful and polite, yet not openly friendly or outspoken. The restaurant is housed in a nice building near one of main squares of the town and is very nicely decorated. Simple, pleasant coulours, few ornaments, comfortable chairs. The main dining room is big enough to ensure a bit of privacy for the guests. Food is offered from a fixed as well as a daily menu. The restaurant also has a pre-defined meal sets clearly targeted at unaware tourists. I strongly advise to avoid these sets, and select your courses from the daily menu. You get the freshest sea food and fish. And you also earn some respect points with the service staff (always a good thing.... . We had simple starters (mozarella with ham, tomatoes and rocket salad, our favourite Italian classic and fish: sole (cooked whole and filetted afterwards for us and another sea fish, whose name we are unaware. All food was superb! Very well cooked, nicely presented, without any unnecessary extras or side dishes (of course you can have them if you wish . And then there was wine. Il Caminetto is called 'Enoteca ', which stands for a 'wine bar '. And as the name suggests, the choice of wines is very satisfying! Prices are reasonable. Our choices, including wine and a desert, cost us exactly the same as the 'tourist menus ' would. In all, this place is a highly recommendable one. It checks all the important boxes.

We ate really good great service beautiful location.

The level of the dishes remains always high and the quality is a guarantee. Bravo!
