01 · In a sentence

Gilda on the Beach in Fregene, open JuneNovember.

Gilda on the Beach sits directly on Rome's Fregene coastline, where sand meets the Tyrrhenian Sea with unobstructed Mediterranean views.

The restaurant's beachfront positioning offers natural backdrops of shifting light across water throughout the day and evening.

This seaside location transforms into an intimate dining venue as the sun sets over the horizon.

We had a business dinner there. The place a bit quiet and secluded. Suitable for more of a private party concept. beautiful sunset, nice food. Beachfront location with big swimming pool.
