BEST FISH MEAL IN A LONG TIME- WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR MORE! Finally found a fish restaurant that serves great food and has equally good service. Cute blue and white seaside decor and friendly staff- attentive but not constantly rushing you through the courses. Everything was nice and relaxed. Just the right amount of time between courses. We had very tasty pasta with lobster, followed by Red Snapper ( dentice) baked in a salt crust. Delicious. White wine was kept in an ice bucket which I love and the bread was amazing too- great tasty crust. Despite eating a lot I felt well after the meal. Will definitely return. Thank you to Anna, the owner, and the waiter, Marcello.

Ate there today for lunch after looking at some google reviews and we were so glad we did. The owners and servers were so good to us. We speak almost no Italian and they spoke almost no English, but we communicated and got amazing seafood! So fresh, so unexpected. I'm not sure the same menu occurs every day so what we had may not show up at your table. Fresh seafood salad - not the American kind with mayonaise and imitation crab legs. This had shrimp and squid and octopus and clams and . . . lightly dressed with herbs - very fresh and light; then a plate with cold salmon, anchovy brushetta with goat cheese, and rissoto balls stuffed with mussels; and then sautéed muscles in a garlic broth. And last, a full sea bass cooked ever so delicately with simple herbs and lemon. Amazing. Highly recommend this place.

We had the best seafood in Italy in the Mare in Tavola restaurant. The food was cooked to perfection, and the service was amazing. The waiters were so nice and kind by making sure that we had the best experience in their restaurant. We had an amazing appetizer, lobster pasta, 2 types of fish, and Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the food is one of the best we had so far in Italy and the service was perfect! We are looking forward to coming back to this restaurant when visiting Italy again. Grazie Mare in Tavola!

The food here is as wonderful as the location is surprising. Fish over roasted potatoes was perfect. Portions were huge. Also pasta with shellfish was immense and delicious. A single portion is plenty for two people. The local white wine was very light and a perfect pairing. Worth a detour if you're looking for lunch on your roadtrip. But not for those in a rush. The waiter warned us the fish needed time to cook. Worth the wait.
