Ristorante Mare Vivo

Great fish restaurant. Excellent food and excellent service. Unfortunately, we were only in town for a visit, but otherwise we would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

A truly excellent seafood restaurant! The food is incredibly fresh and carefully prepared: each dish showcases the flavors of the sea in an authentic and refined way. The staff is professional, friendly, and attentive to every need, always ready to offer advice with a smile. The welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service make for an experience that leaves you feeling pampered from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true seafood dining experience. I'll be back as soon as possible ♥️

This restaurant is easily accessible in Sambuceto, yet tucked away from the road, offering a private and peaceful atmosphere, even outside in the summer. Excellent, fresh seafood, friendly and attentive service, and refined yet hearty cuisine make it the perfect place to savor excellent fresh seafood in a unique way. They also serve excellent cocktails! I've come here several times a year, both for lunch and dinner. The chef is very attentive to his guests' needs and offers the best recommendations. All the appetizers are spectacular, highly recommended for experiencing the cuisine of this exceptional restaurant. The raw fish is also excellent, but for everything else, it's best to trust the chef's recommendations!

The restaurant is slightly hidden... but once inside, you can appreciate the attention to detail and the decor. The menu offers a variety of dishes... you're spoiled for choice, because each one is better than the last. We ordered the raw, cold, and hot appetizers for €30... as you can see from the photos, we received a huge variety... all delicious. Some portions may seem smaller than average, but trust me, after finishing the appetizers, you'll hardly have the courage to continue. We were, however, very attracted by the sea meunière... and we weren't wrong in ordering it... obviously just a taste (one portion divided by 3). The bill was very fair. I'll definitely be back, also because I understand that the appetizers vary based on the catch, and then you're really tempted to try all those first and second courses.

I ate here last night with my partner and the dogs, and I have to say everything was truly excellent, from the service to the food. I'd say the value for money was more than excellent, considering we ate an appetizer, two first courses, two second courses, and two desserts, plus white wine and water, for just €100. We were very satisfied, and if we were to return, we'd definitely stop at this simple yet warm and welcoming restaurant.

We came across it by chance, everything was excellent, the staff were very kind, we will gladly return

A small restaurant serving the freshest seafood, with expertly prepared fried and roasted fish. The waiter, Luca, is extremely kind and knowledgeable, and explains the composition of each dish in great detail. Unfortunately, it's hidden in the inner courtyard of a building on the street, and there are no signs to indicate the direction. We even had a hard time finding it, despite Google Maps. It's a shame, because the place is truly a rare gem.

Informal and discreet small place, with excellent seafood cuisine. For those who don't know it, you need a navigator to find it (it is located under a building and there are no signs or inscriptions on the street). It uses fresh (local) fish and some frozen but of excellent quality. The dishes are carefully prepared, excellently cooked, well presented by the excellent Luca who serves in the dining room, always very courteous and helpful. Finally, the prices are more than affordable and truly honest (full lunch including appetizers, first and second course around 30 including wine). As a fish connoisseur, I must say that I was truly satisfied with the food, the cuisine and the price. The only small point is that sometimes they use a little too much salt in the first courses (but it is an irrelevant detail that can be remedied). As soon as I can, I will definitely return. 5 well-deserved stars and congratulations!

Excellent! Fresh fish cooked according to tradition but with great care and delightful reinterpretations. Fabulous appetizers and raw fish! Very friendly staff and a charming owner. Makes you feel right at home.
