This restaurant was quite close to our villa, and since there were available tables, we decided to give it a try.
Our first impression was very positive. The restaurant is clean, stylish, and has a premium feel. We were greeted warmly by who I assume was the owner.
We started with the raw fish platter for two, followed by pasta for our main courses. The seafood was fresh and generally very good. While a few of the shrimp were not at the same level as the rest, the overall quality was good.
The biggest downside was the service speed. We waited almost an hour for the starter, and the same happened with the pasta. The food was tasty and worth waiting for to some extent, but the staff didn’t seem particularly concerned about the long delays or proactive in updating us.
My pasta was perfectly al dente, while my wife’s was slightly overcooked, although she still enjoyed it. We also had to ask three times before we finally received some olive oil.
We decided to skip dessert because, judging by the pace of service, we would probably have been there for another hour.
To their credit, they gave us a discount at the end without us asking for it, which was a thoughtful gesture and appreciated.
Overall, this is a lovely restaurant with good-quality food and a pleasant atmosphere. If the service became more attentive and the waiting times were significantly reduced, it would be very nice place.

Honestly it is better that I did not take pictures of our food. We came in really impressed by the ambiance and really hungry but food was beyond disappointing for the price/amount of it. It was the smallest tartare gamberi I’ve seen in my life and the flattest taste in risotto (made with the cheapest rice) in whole Italy for our vacation so far. I mean no point in naming it all one by one. But definitely left me sad enough to write the comment right after food. Staff is nice.
We are sorry to read that your experience did not fully meet your expectations, especially after appreciating the atmosphere and the kindness of our staff. At La Caletta ristorante sul lago, on the Lago di Bracciano, we work every day with carefully selected seafood ingredients, a kitchen identity built over many years, and dishes that are regularly appreciated by the vast majority of our guests — including the risotto you mentioned, which has become one of the signature dishes of our restaurant. We understand that personal taste can differ, and we always encourage our guests to share any concern during the service, allowing us to immediately verify and, if necessary, remake a dish.
We are however pleased that you appreciated the ambiance and the attention of our team, which remain an essential part of the experience we strive to offer every day.
