"Locale appena aperto ma già una realtà culinaria lo chef prepara il cibo con passione trasmettendo il sapore del mare sulla tavola. Primi e secondi eseguiti alla perfezione. Complimenti. Di sicuro ogni volta che verrò a ponza una sosta è d'obbligo. Consigliatissimo."

"Un po' lunga l'attesa intercorsa tra l'ordine a la portata del primo piatto ma essa è stata ripagata dalla bontà del cibo servito. Personale molto cortese. La vista sul porto è molto bella anche se purtroppo qualcuno dovrà darle le spalle."

"Abbiamo scelto questo posto un po’ alla cieca, e possiamo dire che è stata una scelta azzeccata. Tartare di pescato del giorno di livello altissimo, entrambi i primi cucinati alla perfezione con sapori davvero autentici. Personale estremamente gentile e accogliente. Se proprio dobbiamo trovare “l’ago nel pagliaio” tempo di attesa tra una portata e l’altra leggermente lungo. Considerata la zona estremamente centrale e quindi trafficata, non è mancata comunque la tranquillità. Consigliatissimo!!!"

"We visited Ristorante L’Antica Favara for lunch and were seated outside straight away. We really enjoyed the fish polpette, fish tartar and the Antica Favara pasta with octopus and lentils. You can tell they use fresh seafood and high quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and professional, and the terrace has a lovely view overlooking the Ponza porto, which makes the lunch even more enjoyable."

"Nel complesso una buona esperienza presso Antica Favara, con alcuni piatti riusciti e altri che hanno lasciato un po’ a desiderare. Abbiamo iniziato con delle polpette di merluzzo accompagnate da maionese al basilico: gustose e ben presentate. A seguire, un fuori menù con paccheri e ricciola, ben eseguito e piacevolmente equilibrato nei sapori. Molto buoni anche gli scialatielli al gambero, con pasta ben cotta e un condimento ricco. Meno convincenti invece il coniglio, risultato piuttosto secco, e il calamaro ripieno, che era buono ma servito in una porzione davvero minima, quasi simbolica. Il conto finale è stato di 120€, comprensivo di una bottiglia di vino. Prezzo tutto sommato adeguato alla qualità generale della cena. Nota a margine sull’ambiente: i tavoli sono molto ravvicinati, ma va detto che si mangia all’aperto, in strada, e questo tipo di sistemazione è del tutto normale per il contesto. In sintesi, Antica Favara merita una visita, soprattutto per chi apprezza la cucina di mare ben fatta, anche se c’è qualche dettaglio ancora da migliorare. ( un saluto alle cameriere super gentili )"
