Seafood restaurant in Fiumicino
Quality in every detail
Where ingredients become experience
At Follis, the sea is at the heart of everything. We work withlongline hook-caught fish, aw seafood and oysters,live shellfishand live crustaceans selected directly from the aquarium and prepared grilled, Catalan-style, or with linguine. Alongside the kitchen, awine cellarboasts hundreds of labels, complete with a dedicated Champagnerie.
The Salt-water Tank
Far more than a mere decorative feature, the aquarium is visible proof of how we work. Spiny lobsters, blue lobsters, and mantis shrimp remain alive until the moment of preparation. We select our fish daily from Italian auctions, favoring line-caught catches, and whenever our sea allows, we serve the local catch of the day.
It is an experience that both reassures and fascinates—especially for our youngest guests—turning every visit into a special moment.
