Cantina 16 - CIVITAVECCHIA

Very good even if a little expensive. The design of the restaurant is not suitable for a seaside resort, it claims to be too modern and elegant, so much so that it was empty at the time of my visit. I recommend paste to sepia black. The view is beautiful, especially in the morning.

Small but pleasant restaurant, kitchen with ups and downs: good starters and rather cared for in the presentation; sliced of tuna in crust/panantura of sesame seeds with the latter that inexorably overestimated the flavor of the tuna that had just cooking and seemed good quality anyway. Dessert of pears and tasty pistachios.

It is a restaurant that has potential, unfortunately but this potential is not managed properly. The dishes are very tasty and is the strong point that every restaurant should have, this has it but... The service is bad. More than an hour to wait for a first; in the menu there are no vegetarian choices (even an appetizer or a first one) but in the end they proposed to make me a cut with asparagus that I must say very good; paper tablecloths (would be a decent tablecloth so that the restaurant has a different atmosphere); the wine even if ordered in calyx it is always first made to taste and then poured; poss not working; our table was near the door and people came in and went out to smoke right there creating discomfort for those who were dining; noisy environment and mostly frequented by groups of boys; Disagreed staff. Too bad. Such a young restaurant should have meticulous attention to detail and instead... Although I had eaten well, although little, I don't think I'm coming back.

Good appetizers and exceptional views, but the rest leaves a little to desire. Tonnarelli octopus and pecorino look like tomato tonnarelli, the risotto was a little too short, the bass fillet was clearly frozen and oily. We also ordered two salads never arrived. The ricotta pie and pistachio pessima, that cream and jam of visciole acceptable as the fried fish. The service definitely leaves to be desired... slow and disorganized waiters. I don't think I'll be back.

The trick of the fixed menu!! Tasteless mussels with practically invisible mussels, the first also. There was nothing saved nor spaghetti with the rock nor risotto completely insipid and shaken) nor even less the pasta with the octopus that looked like pasta with tomato. The fry made with the quarantine front oil that has nothing to do with the images. And finally the spigola in potato crust was nothing but a piece of disgraced plattery spread out for bass. The only things that have been saved are appetizers and wine. In short, a real disappointment!! !
