The story
Tavola Azzurra 2 in Santa Marinella offers a refreshingly unpretentious approach to coastal dining. This rustic, family-run seafood spot operates with a unique philosophy: the owner, Roberto, curates the menu for his guests. As creator Cucina con Ruben noted, it is a "very particular" establishment where the focus remains entirely on simple, honest, and delicious preparations.
The menu highlights the freshness of the catch through a variety of thoughtful plates. Diners can expect a progression of seafood, ranging from bruschetta topped with bottarga, alici, or marinated salmon to savory polpette di tonno and baccalà fritto. Heartier offerings like spaghetti con uova di pesce, roasted spigola with potatoes, and cernia e limone showcase the kitchen's dedication to quality. A meal here concludes with classic sweets like crostata di ricotta e visciole and refreshing cocomero, rounding out an authentic Italian seaside experience.

Dishes mentioned
Bruschetta con Bottarga
This bruschetta with bottarga is incredible. The bread is soft and toasted with a drizzle of oil, then there's this lettuce salad that does its part, and on top, the bottarga is just exceptional. I'm biased, but bottarga makes me fly. It's one of the best things here.
Bruschetta con Alici
The anchovy bruschetta is also good. The anchovies are well spread on the bread, it's tasty. But compared to the bottarga one, I prefer the bottarga.
Bruschetta con Salmone Marinato
The marinated salmon bruschetta is great. The salmon is thick, they marinate it in salt and sugar themselves, and slice it nice and thick. It never disappoints.
- Polpette
Baccalà Fritto
The fried cod is delicious. The breading is crunchy but light, and it comes with a piece of skin. It's very light, you taste the fish, the smokiness, and the oil. Really good.
