Restaurant in Procida, Italy
Book early or miss the waterfront table.
A waterfront restaurant on Procida's lungomare, Da Girone suits food and wine enthusiasts drawn to the Campanian coastal setting. Booking is generally easy outside peak summer, though July and August require more lead time. Best visited at lunch on a weekday in shoulder season for a calmer experience. Check the wine list for regional Campanian producers — that's the clearest indicator of ambition here.
Procida's dining options are limited by geography — the island draws a loyal seasonal crowd, and the leading tables along the lungomare fill quickly in summer. Da Girone, positioned on Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo, is one of those waterfront spots where the setting does as much work as the kitchen. If you're visiting between June and September, securing a table early in the week gives you more flexibility; weekends in peak season are the hardest window to work with, and walk-in chances drop sharply from July onwards.
For a food and wine enthusiast visiting Procida, the island's position in the Campanian coastal corridor is the key context. The region produces distinctive whites — Falanghina, Greco di Tufo, Fiano , that pair naturally with the local seafood tradition. A well-chosen wine list at a waterfront restaurant on Procida should be anchoring itself in those regional varietals, ideally including producers from the Campi Flegrei DOC, which sits just across the water and yields some of Campania's most mineral-driven whites. Whether Da Girone's list reflects that local depth is the question worth asking when you book: if the wine program is dialed into the Campanian regional story rather than a generic Italian list, that's a meaningful marker of seriousness.
The address on the lungomare puts it in the most visited stretch of Procida's waterfront. That means the atmosphere skews lively rather than quiet, and the room will be busier at dinner than lunch. If conversation and a slower pace matter to you, arriving at lunch on a weekday , particularly in May or early October, shoulder season on either side of the peak summer rush , gives you the leading version of the setting without the full summer crowd. For alternatives closer to the island's quieter interior, Ristorante Da Mariano is worth considering, and Pizz'Stop covers a more casual register if the group isn't committed to a full sit-down meal.
Booking Da Girone is currently rated easy , you don't need weeks of lead time outside peak summer, though July and August change that calculus. Contact directly through the venue if you have dietary requirements or are arriving with a larger group, since waterfront restaurants on small islands tend to have fixed configurations that don't flex easily for last-minute requests.

How Da Girone stacks up against the competition.
Procida runs casual by island standards, so relaxed but presentable clothing fits the lungomare setting — think clean linen over resort wear. There is no formal dress requirement documented for Da Girone. Avoid beachwear; the waterfront location along Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo draws a mix of locals and visitors who tend to dress for a proper sit-down meal.
Da Girone is positioned on Procida's main seafront promenade, which means outdoor tables with direct water views and a setting that draws repeat visitors each season. Procida is a small island with limited dining alternatives, so managing expectations about menu breadth is sensible. Come for the location and local atmosphere rather than expecting a large, varied operation.
Book at least a week out during peak summer months — Procida's seasonal crowd is loyal and the island's best waterfront tables fill fast. Outside July and August, shorter lead times are more forgiving, but a reservation is still advisable given the limited dining options on the island. Walk-in chances improve on weekday lunches in shoulder season.
No specific dietary policy is documented for Da Girone. For any requirements beyond standard Italian coastal fare, check the venue's official channels before booking. The address is Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo 4, Procida — visiting in person to ask questions is practical given the island's informal communication culture and the absence of a listed website or phone number.
No confirmed bar-seating arrangement is documented for Da Girone. On a lungomare restaurant of this type in southern Italy, informal counter or bar dining is not typical — table service is the standard format. If flexibility on seating matters to you, clarify directly when booking or on arrival.
