Pezzalonga beach

10 Aiden Jafari

This stunning beach destination is a true gem, complete with warm and welcoming staff and owners who go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. Dining on the terrace while watching the sunset is simply breathtaking, and the food is nothing short of spectacular. During our Saturday night dinner, we were blown away by the freshness of the fish - it was unlike anything we've ever tasted, even at the best restaurants in the city. The flavors were so intense that you could practically taste the sea in your mouth. The frying and grilling techniques were top-notch, resulting in perfectly cooked dishes. Our little girl's cutlet was an absolute delight, with the meat melting in our mouths. Prices were reasonable and in line with what we expected. The only minor downside was that the menu was not physically available, and we had to rely on verbal descriptions of the dishes. We would recommend printing the menu to allow for easier selection of dishes and comparison of prices. Overall, we had an amazing experience and highly recommend this beach spot to anyone looking for a memorable meal with a view. Kudos to the team for their outstanding work!

Spiaggia Fiuzzi

This Lido truly feels like a home away from home. The staff is incredibly courteous and kind, and the cleanliness of the beach is truly exemplary. Additionally, the food is excellent. I highly recommend this spot, especially for families with children.
