Oysters are one of the most refined and prized delicacies — something only a select few fishmongers in Rome can truly offer. They have always been a symbol of class and character.
Every oyster you’ll find at Il Pescatorio is live and of the highest quality.
Drop by and we’ll tell you about the origin of our oysters and the distinct character of each variety we carry. We’ll help you choose the oyster that suits your palate, and if you’re new to them, we’ll show you how to shuck them and how to eat them.
Purists, of course, enjoy oysters raw without any addition — but there are also some truly remarkable recipes that bring out the best in this extraordinary mollusc. We know a few unbeatable ones, and we’d love to share our chefs’ secrets with you.
You’ll also find some standout names here, like the famous Regal Gold — the renowned oysters topped with edible gold.
The world of oysters is full of expertise, little-known facts and best practices that are essential to navigate the different varieties — and to avoid ever bringing home a poor-quality product. For example: do you know how to spot a fresh oyster? Have you heard whether oysters are really high in calories or fattening? Can you tell a live oyster from one that isn’t? We’ll teach you a few tricks of the trade and show you the extraordinary quality of what we offer.
Oysters, of course, call for champagne or wine pairing. Come visit us and we’ll guide you through the best matches. We’ll discover together what to drink with these molluscs, exploring the bottles in our cellar, carefully selected with passion.
Oysters are also one of the highlights of our terrace aperitivo: a touch of class and flavour after a day’s work — to head home happy and stirred by the pleasure of good taste.
