"Super atmosphere with nice decorated garden dining and lovely music. Food is great, the oyster and mussels are nice, the calm spaghetti a bit salty but overall very nice. What I appreciate most is the service, the waiter always comes at the time when you need them. Highly recommend."

"Have you seen fawlty towers? It is kind of like that.
We went there for dinner and the experience was mixed.
The staff greeted us with a warm welcome and were really friendly.
The "involtini di pesce spada," tasted good, but the fish was bland and lacked salt.
The vegetables were the best part of the meal.
One of the waiters spilled a glass of water on our table. He said sorry and left.
The cannoli was terrible, seemed defrosted."

Perched on the ruins of an ancient Roman villa and surrounded by ancient walls and archaeological artifacts, Aranciara is a joy to behold!. The menu leans heavily on simple, but excellently-crafted fish dishes and the staff are renowned for their friendliness.Call: +39 348 0588060 Find out more
