Alta Marea

Just after a beautiful walk through the upper part of Scilla, hungry and in search of the best swordfish sandwich, my partner and I stumbled upon a little place on the harbor. We were immediately greeted courteously and decided to sit down. We ordered a swordfish arancini, a classic swordfish sandwich, and a cold beer. We sat in the back, shaded and quiet. Within minutes, a very friendly girl asked us for our order and served it very quickly. The orange was a delight for the palate 🤩 and the sandwich was equally amazing. Finally, we ordered two coffees, which were served with a delicious biscuit. When it came time to get the bill, which was very honest, the very kind girl offered us our coffees and greeted us with a genuine smile. We really needed this pleasant lunch break. Oh... I forgot... they have some amazing kittens who love sharing their lunch with their fellow diners 😂

Last night my boyfriend and I ate at this little kiosk overlooking the port of Scilla and were thrilled. We tried two sandwiches with shrimp and salmon tartare: incredibly fresh and delicious. But what struck us even more was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They offered us a liqueur at the end of the meal and even gave us two jars of jam. You can clearly sense the passion and love they put into their work. Highly recommended for those looking for quality, friendliness, and a quiet, welcoming atmosphere!

Directly overlooking the port of Scilla. Perfect after a boat trip. We were in a hurry, so we went for the swordfish sandwiches and arancini, both delicious. The service was friendly and very fast. Excellent value. Unfortunately, we didn't take photos because we were so rushed, but I definitely recommend it!

Typical dishes that will make you feel like you're on cloud nine with every bite. The best swordfish sandwich in Scilla and the unparalleled arancini all'anduja. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. I highly recommend them.

A little gem overlooking the Chianalea harbor...where the scent of the sea blends with a genuine welcome. Here we enjoyed simply unforgettable swordfish sandwiches, accompanied by a fresh and fragrant bergamot spritz, reminiscent of authentic Calabria! Welcoming us were the sincere smiles of Asia and her mother: patient, professional, and capable of making us feel like guests in their home. The atmosphere is familiar and distinctive, with that rare atmosphere that warms your heart and makes you want to return. I recommend Alta Marea to anyone who wants to experience a special moment amidst unique flavors and the warmth of genuine people. I hope to return... soon! ❣️

Well guys, what can I say, a nice place, overlooking the port of Scilla, on the surface it looks like a bar but where you can eat really well, dishes prepared quickly with fresh products. The price is low compared to the quantity and quality of the food. Young, approachable and very professional waiters, the girl who served me is something wonderful. Well I absolutely recommend it I take away 2 stars for the service because although they are adorable, I went there again this evening, everything was delicious, but I ordered an arancino with nduja and a fried calamari, the larancino arrived and a swordfish sandwich with it, I sent it back, the orange was finished, the fried arrived but not calamari, but the mixed fried calamari, I ate it and it was delicious but unfortunately this oversight makes me reconsider the service. The waitress from last time was efficient as always, this evening there was another one present, who was inside the kiosk in her boyfriend's arms... This can lead to errors... And so it was.

Our favorite place for swordfish sandwiches (and more) in Chianalea. Right on the harbor, in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the town center, the food is always a guarantee of quality and deliciousness, from the sandwiches to the arancini and everything else. The girls are very knowledgeable and attentive to their customers. We return every year and are never disappointed.

Very friendly and courteous staff, the swordfish sandwich was truly exceptional and tasty, we had a good time and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, we will definitely be back 😍

Take a cozy, informal spot on the Chianalea marina. Now add a tasty swordfish sandwich (in three versions) as big as your face. The result is a truly delicious experience! Swordfish arancini + swordfish sandwich + water: €20! Absolutely more honest than more popular and well-publicized competitors.

We stopped by the kiosk looking for something to eat and instead found several very good specialties, including stuffed calamari, zucchini flowers stuffed with anchovies and mozzarella, and swordfish rolls. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the food was varied, simple, and attentive. A pleasant surprise on a warm August evening.

We ate an excellent swordfish sandwich, with delicious crunchy bread, and we also received a gift of courgette flower fritters👌❤️

We went for aperitivo here at Onda Blu; it's a lovely place, right next to Scilla's port! Anna was friendly and helpful, and she listed what to eat and drink for us. The swordfish sandwiches were phenomenal (I recommend the Oleano), and the bergamot spritz was superb! If I ever return to Scilla, I'll definitely stop by again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
