I Pescatori - Centro Degustazione

Authentic, Local, and Absolutely Delicious We visited Pescatori as part of a small Silversea Cruises tour — no crowds, no tourists, just an intimate and authentic experience in Porto Santo Stefano. The location couldn’t be more perfect: right by the water, with a relaxed atmosphere that feels truly local. The seafood was outstanding — fresh, simple, and full of flavour. You can tell this is a place loved by the community. Service was warm and efficient, even with our small group. A wonderful highlight of our day in this charming port town

This is by far the worst we have ever been to, after a week in Italy a week, eating out nightly. We waited 40 min for the restaurant to open on a Sunday night,  although according to Google maps,  they've been open all day.  They were booked outside , we agreed to sit inside.  The wooden bench was dusty. The chairs were too low compared to the table.  We had to ask for the fan to be turned on.  And I wouldn't have bothered to write about it, if the rest would have been good.  But NO. Then we waited for a while.  A very rude waitress, although speaking English, laid a paper menu and *commanded* "fill in the food and drinks order", in a very blunt way. Two pastas arrived.  They tasted ok. The antipasti didn't. Together with the "mixed" salad, lettuce and tomatoes only,  came only after a reminder. We had to ask for olive oil and balsamic.  Otherwise,  no taste to the salad. They forgot the ravioli. (The only option that could be made  vegetarian,  for me). The raw fish antipasti was not really raw, not carpaccio  . We waited *long long* time for the fish. By that time,  others that arrived with us were almost done eating. Then the marinated eel came cold and nobody could keep a single bite. The grilled fish were reported to be good. They come with nothing,  you have to order separately any side. And the worst,  while waiting for the fish,  we asked for another menu to order more food,  because we realized that we won't have enough... the waitress said - no you can't order more!!! inconceivable!!! My wife had to go somewhere else with the kids. I'd rather they'd tell us they don't have the capacity. And they didn't care about any of my feedback. STAY AWAY

The best spigola that I have so far. We've been here more than 10 times and always we are very happy. The crew is friendly, but busy. But The fishes are just amazing. Prepared on grill, but The best. Totally need to stop here. And The view for sunset is stunning.

Great location for sunset. The food is good, but not great. Most preferred dishes are the first courses of pasta. The one with bottarga or sea bass ragout especially. I didn’t like the eel at all, tasted like a hotdog. Unfortunately mosquitoes are quite annoying, especially at night under the lamp posts. It’s rather cheap for being fish

One of the worst restaurants ever ... very rude approach, no idea about customer service .... than the fish starter was rubbery, and the pasta,.... how can you ever eat bad pasta in Italy .. well it was really bad! Pasta was soggy and crusty probably cooked in the morning, it was meant to be a carbonara ... it was egg soup, with disgusting pasta, that gets stuck in your throat ! I had 3 forks ... we paid got up and left !! Never again ... i'd rather not eat, than eat that rubbish!! Should read Centro di disguastazione rather !!

The food is really good and the service is quite rustic and simple. Location-wise this place is unique: eating while beholding the sun setting over Orbetello’s west lagoon is indeed unforgettable. Don’t expect a fancy spot with vacuous frills: you get what you see, and you’ll likely love it.

It was the most delicious meal I've had in Italy. It was also very cheap. The atmosphere is incredibly beautiful.

Never ever in my life would I have imagined that such an awful place could exist in Italy! The country of good taste and good food, where I come 2-3 times per year since ages... This "restaurant" functions like this: you arrive, pick up a menu and a number and wait outside for your turn to come. Then you go to the cashier, PAY (!!) and go in the eating area, which is composed of approx 30 tables with plastic chairs under some tents. You pick up a tray, glasses and cuttlery and wait at the table to be called and go YOURSELF to pick up the "food". Even if it is all about self-service, you pay a " coperto" of 2 eur/person. The food is of very poor quality, and extremely expensive. We paid for 2 horrible antipasti, four fishes (aquacultured, although we were in a place right next to the water; they called one of the four fishes "anguilla" but it was a blackish, dubious, smoked and afterwards deep fried slices of "something" which could have been anything but not a fish), some deep fried, too salty vegetables and two tasteless tomatoes cut into pieces 94 euros!!! (Amount which I am ready to pay and I pay every evening for good quality food in nice restaurants.) While you eat and after you eat, a guy comes and cleans the table, disposing everything in one of the large bins right next to the tables! The only reason why we have not left was because we were hungry and tired. I attach some pictures. I am terribly sorry I did not take pictures of the "food" as well.

Simple fish restaurant with focus on the local catch. Works like a fastfood (order at the counter and wait at the table) Menu changes daily depending on the availability Dishes are well prepared following the tradition On the expensive side (30-40eur per person) considering the simple setting

We went there after my parents went there alone last year. Last year was great but this year was TERRIBLE! We entered and we waited 10 min before the (really annoyed) waiter told us that we had to just sit somewhere after 10 min we were sitting he came saying "oh! you did not order yet" as it was totally our fault. told us we had to go to the counter and order before sitting. we did order and then we waited more than 30 min even for the drinks!! and the dishes came in random order so people had finish eating at the table before the other started. Every time we asked something looked like we were really bothering them! horrible experience!  do not go there!! worst one the fat waiter with constant angry face! I told him if we could at least have water for the 8years old girl that was thirsty and he said something on the line "not my problem " notice I'm italian so it was not a communication problem! !
