This is hands down not only the best restaurant on the island of Procida, but one of the top places I've ever eaten in all of Italy. Mariano's talents are secretly hidden on this remote island in the Tyrrehenian Sea. The food is absolutely incredible, and located in a rather unusual place on the island. Far from the center of the village, the restaurant is one of the tiniest places I've ever dined at. Right in front of the marina, it is across the island from the epicenter of everything. Far from noise and traffic, the stillness of this side of the island provides the guest with peace and quiet while they sip their house wine and dine al fresco in the warm summer eve.
The shrimp ravioli is something to marvel and possibly have seconds. I was tempted to order more - no joke. From the appetizers to the desserts, you will not be dissatisfied. This is literally some of the best food in all of Italy and you might consider going to the island just for this reason.
The staff is beyond friendly and loved getting to know Mariano and his lovely wife.
Would recommend this as one of the best places I've dined, and would love to go again in the future!
