Mary Rock Scauri

Perched on the Spiaggia dei Sassolini, Mary Rock Scauri offers a Mediterranean menu that celebrates the Tyrrhenian Sea with technical vigor. The kitchen’s identity is defined by its seafood tapas and traditional pasta preparations, where the aroma of garlic, chili, and fresh saltwater prevails. A signature dish of baccalà pastellato features a light, airy batter that shatters to reveal silken, salt-cured cod. The technique of pan-searing is mastered in the mackerel with potatoes, where the oily richness of the fish is balanced by the earthy, tender tubers. Textures are a focal point, from the al dente snap of spaghetti alle vongole to the delicate, translucent slices of fresh fish tartare. The setting, a wooden structure nestled within the Regional Park of Gianola, provides a cinematic backdrop for a cuisine that is both rustic and refined. It is a place where the simplicity of coastal ingredients is elevated through precise seasoning and a deep respect for maritime tradition.
