The story
On the island of Ponza, Acqua Pazza brings the flavours of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the table with a quiet confidence that earned it a Michelin star. The restaurant’s name—meaning “crazy water”—hints at a love for simple, elemental cooking, where seafood takes centre stage in classic preparations.
The setting is as welcoming as the food: an outdoor terrace that catches the island breeze, paired with air-conditioned interiors for warmer days. An interesting wine list, curated to complement the coastal menu, adds depth to the experience.
Acqua Pazza’s cuisine is firmly rooted in tradition, letting the quality of the catch speak for itself. Whether you choose to dine under the stars or inside, the focus remains on the sea—and on the refined, unfussy cooking that defines this address on Ponza.
