Dove Inizia Il Mare - Sabaudia

A pleasant location, and very nice to have the dining open to the sea winds. However, the quality of the food was very poor, the prices were very high and the service was inattentive. Perhaps we simply made poor choices in our orders (ravioli with fish, pasta with calamari) but we took the recommendations of the server. Very disappointing.

If you go to Dove Inizia il Mare Where the Sea Stars you really feel the spot is worth its name! But be careful! It is not that easy to find, as somehow on the lungomare of Sabaudia it is not that visible!!! Besides wonderful local tastes it offers a magic view to the famous Monte Circeo if you visit the place during the day. If you go for sun set you just get the views of the most beautiful sunsets you will never forget! The fine and carefully selected local tastes will make your evening just 10 m from the sea with the sundown probably most romantic moments of your life :

We went for a family lunch yesterday. Chose the restaurant based on the good reviews. First of all, there was no available parking and I was sent on a wild goose chase by the parking attendant to find their 'other ' parking lot. I eventually turned around and paid for parking on the beach road. The restaurant itself was very nice. Simple decor, which I like. We sat at the table for seven that I had booked. After getting drinks and ordering our food, we waited about 20 minutes with no further service. Eventually, I asked if we could have some bread. We got one small bowl between seven of us. Then the starters turned up almost immediately. These were excellent. We shared three of the 'house ' fish platters. Two of our seven main courses came just as we were finishing the starters calamari. But none of the other mains or side dishes turned up for another ten minutes, by which time the calamari were cold. And even then, we were two main course dishes short. These came after another 10 minutes 20 minutes after the first main course dishes were served (and they had finished eating them by this time). The food was very, very good. It 's such a shame that the poor service let the restaurant down so badly. It was very busy (about ten tables of four or more) but there was only what appeared to be the owner and one waiter serving. It was obvious that they were way overstretched. I hope that this was just a blip and that the service is not always like that. I 'd be tempted to go back one day, just to see...

If you go to Sabaudia you can not go to this restaurant overlooking the sea. Great food fresh and well served. See you soon.
