Scialuppa 25 - MARATEA

Complice una splendida giornata con due amici ci siamo fermati per caso, un ottimo fritto di mare dove le alici erano eccezionali, spaghetti con le vongole perfetti. Il Personale gradevole e preparato. La location favolosa con vista su quel gioiellino che il porto turistico. 5 stelle da verificare con prossima visita

Bel posticino in una posizione strategica. Purtroppo siamo capitati in una giornata super affollata e i camerieri erano un bel po' indaffarati . Noi avevamo prenotato un tavolo per le ore 13 ma abbiamo fatto tardi e siamo arrivati alle 14 Ma nonostante tutto avendo tre bambini ci hanno offerto un altro tavolo e dopo un po di attesa abbiamo.mangiato

Un bellissimo ristorante pulizia gusti particolari servizio impeccabile grazie della ospitalità.

Scialuppa 25 is located at Porto di Maratea in the quiet, somewhat sleepy, harbour. We had lunch at Scialuppa 25 twice during our stay in Maratea. Both lunches were very good-excellent with great welcoming service by Andreas. We just turned up without reservations and were given outside tables in an almost empty restaurant from which we could watch the comings and goings on the harbour front inasmuch as there were any. On each occasion, we ordered the house white, which was good enough for our very good seafood fare. On the first occasion, I ordered the fresh antipasto di mare, which was really too much so, on our second visit, I ordered the smaller, nicely flavoured insalata di mare, which my wife had ordered first time and was just right. For secondi, I had a beautifully grilled, fresh, large swordfish steak, which my wife had on our second visit. Both steaks were wonderful. On our second visit, I had the over-cooked polpetti in beautiful tomato sauce with a side order of vedure grilliate. How do they get their tomatoes so red? The polpo was tender and the sauce nicely flavoured. I would recommend both dishes. We finished with locally-made ice cream, which Andreas acquired from a nearby restaurant, a nice limoncello, and cafe. I guess the same folks own both restaurants. All together, both lunches were splendid occasions helped by the relaxed location and the friendly, efficient, staff. When we return to Maratea, Scialuppa 25 and Ristorante 1999 will be top of our lunch venue lists.

They have a small kitchen, so go when it is not crowded, and you will be served promptly, and food is going to be much better. We order pizza and for its kind electric oven it was not too bad. Pasta with shrimp and zucchini was quite delicious. Beer on tap was nice and fresh, the house wine not too good. Personnel was very nice and service attentive. For a value meal, this is your place.
