Ristorante Pizzeria Il Nostromo, Family pizzeria in Gaeta, Italy
Ristorante Pizzeria Il Nostromo is a restaurant and pizzeria in Gaeta, set along the Lungomare Giovanni Caboto waterfront with both indoor seating and an outdoor terrace facing the sea. The menu centers on pizza and seafood dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.
The place opened more than 30 years ago and has stayed in the same family since then, keeping its role as a regular spot for locals and visitors alike. Over time, the kitchen refined its approach while holding on to the cooking methods it started with.
The name refers to a ship's officer, reflecting its deep ties to fishing and maritime tradition. Diners sit right above the waterfront and experience how the local cooking rhythm follows the seasons and daily catches.
The restaurant is open through the day and into the evening, and it can seat both small groups and larger gatherings. The terrace tends to fill up fast on warm days, so arriving a little early is a good idea.
The Spaghetti alla Nostromo is a signature dish that brings together several types of seafood using cooking methods specific to Gaeta and passed down over generations. The final result changes with the season and the daily catch, so no two servings are exactly the same.
