Il Ghiottone

"Wonderful seafood, reasonably priced wines, on the waterfront. A perfect stop in every way. I splurged a bit and it was worth it, especially if you’re from a landlocked area where most seafood is frozen. The lemon sorbet and limoncello were perfect accompaniment."

"What a delight to not only find a restaurant open on a Monday night, but to also have such a delicious experience. Not only were we impressed with the choice on the menu - both fish and other - but the quality of the dishes were amazing. The calamari frittura is so far the best I have ever had (and my Italian father cooked it!), but the bucatini alla amtriciana was a perfect combination of al dente pasta, tasty sauce and cheese. And who can go wrong with freshly made tiramisu and a fragrant glass of red! Service and attention was very warm and welcoming."

"This was amazing seafood restaurant. All the staff were great and friendly. We enjoyed the raw seafood, vongole pasta and grilled sea bass and everything was so delicious! It was one of the best meals we had in Italy! Don’t forget to order the desserts! They were perfect!"

"We stopped at Il Ghiottone in Fiumicino on our way to the airport after a trip to Tuscany, and it was the perfect final meal in Italy. After a lovely stroll around the harbour, we sat down to an outstanding, truly authentic Italian meal. Very little English, very Italian — exactly how it should be. This is a restaurant that clearly takes pride in its menu, its expertise, and the freshness of its produce. The staff were friendly and welcoming, with a warm and generous hostess who gave us excellent recommendations. We enjoyed a beautiful white wine, linguine alle vongole for me, and lobster for my husband — all absolutely mouth-watering and perfectly prepared. A wonderful last meal before flying out of Italy. If I’m ever passing through Fiumicino again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stop here. Highly recommended."

"We were greeted by Max as we we walking past and was charmed by his enthusiasm and hospitality. Had a fantastic meal! He remembered our names and looked after us. Highly recommend."

"After walking along the beach we ended up stopping by this restaurant for drinks and snacks in the afternoon. We had some delicious limoncello spritz and cappuccino outside with the sea breeze. Massimiliano was warm and welcoming as our server and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back for dinner. For dinner, Massimiliano took care of us again and gave us some great recommendations. We ordered the seafood soup (antipasto caldo in crosta), the calamari, a grilled sea bass, the carbonara, and the amatriciana. Everything was delicious and the seafood was especially fresh and prepared well. We had a wonderful time dining outside at this restaurant and would definitely come again."

"Daniele the owners son welcomed us to what seemed to be the only ristorante open at 5pm in all of Italy. We felt at home and his suggestions were on point. We started with Antipasto caldo in crosta which I can only describe as a seafood shepherds pie . Absolutely delicious. The cacho e pepe the best we tasted in Italy. The seafood ravioli, mamá mía sooo good. I’m going to stop writing enjoy the pictures."

"Absolutely amazing Food and Service. Far exceeded our our hopes and expectations. Compliments to the Chief. Best most authentic food we have had in 10 days abroad. Our waiter was the best ever. Huge appreciation from these Texans. Group of 5. We had aperol spritz, fresh mussels, calamari, sea bass, sea bring, cabanara, shrimp and a wonderful dessert special made family size by the chief."
