Burro & Alici
With just a road separating it from the beach (in summer, the large windows open completely, so that the dining room has the feel of an outdoor terrace), this simple restaurant is similar to the many others dotted along the seafront in Marotta. However, it’s the food that is the main attraction – the colourful, generous cuisine of the Adriatic, with fish served in classic recipes occasionally finished with an imaginative and personal twist. Fish also take pride of place on the delicious gourmet pizzas served here.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews
Burro & Alici, located on the Marotta waterfront, specializes in seafood and classic cuisine. Food quality is generally praised, with fried anchovies, grilled octopus, and fresh fish highlighted as excellent. The menu also includes pizza and gluten-free options, though some reviews note inconsistent seasoning or preparation. Service is polarizing; while many appreciate the friendly and professional staff, others report slow pacing, disorganized dish delivery, and limited menu knowledge. The atmosphere is cozy and nautical, offering a pleasant dining environment despite being near a road. Value is mixed, with some finding it reasonable and others feeling the experience does not justify the cost, particularly when service issues arise.
Suitable for diners seeking seaside seafood who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies.
