Al Turcotto

About

Al Turcotto is a historic family‑run seafood restaurant that has been delighting diners in Anzio since 1816. Nestled on a picturesque cliff overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the restaurant’s interior is framed by the ancient ruins of the Villa Imperiale di Nerone, while the terrace offers uninterrupted views of the water and the sunset. The menu is a celebration of local fish and seafood – from tuna and scampi to the famous purple shrimp and local sea trout – all prepared with seasonal ingredients sourced daily from the harbor. With a menu that balances tradition and contemporary tasting, Al Turcotto offers both lunch and dinner for all‑day guests and a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that has earned it a devoted local following. Guests can enjoy a relaxed lunch from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. throughout the week, with dinner service extending from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on most evenings. On weekends the dinner window extends to 10:30 p.m., and on Fridays it remains open until 11 p.m. The terrace, framed by Roman ruins, is the highlight of the dining experience, providing a serene backdrop for a sunset meal. The restaurant also offers a traditional soup section, innovative dishes that blend Mediterranean flavors with contemporary techniques, and a signature dessert menu that showcases homemade sweets made from scratch. Reservations are recommended for dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, while late‑night bookings can be made for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
