Le Viste's location is unique, situated on a secret beach hidden some 40m below Elba's fortress…read more It's arguably one of the most romantic locations in the world. However, we've been coming to this place for 10 years and have seen its ups and downs. This time (August 2024), we were disappointed by the service, because our waitress was slow, inattentive, and had us sit in front of our empty main course plates so that we didn't even bother to order dessert. The food was ok, but in Italy, that is expected and actually, it wasn't significantly better than the food we had the day before in a small place in Marina di Campo which didn't even cost us half the price Le Viste had charged. If you're new to Elba, you must have dinner here once - but not twice (at least at this moment).

We were welcomed by the owner and started off enjoying a sparkling white wine while enjoying bruschetta (local vibrant tomatoes). We spoke English and they spoke Italian and they accommodated every request with a smile. Tip: The menu is in Italian/German and English. We moved on to our next course of fresh mussels in an amazing broth. We finished our lunch with fresh pasta - mussels, clams and baby snails. Delicious! We decided that it was so tasty we would come back for dinner and so happy we did! The local wines were superb as well as the house made limoncello. For dinner we once again enjoyed the beautiful homemade pasta and this time with olive oil and peppers. The owner came our with a tray of the fresh pasta prior to it being cooked. Yumm! For our entree we shared the Swordfish with olives and cherry tomatoes. My husband thought it was one of the best fishes he has ever had, mind you he is a "foodie as I". Don't miss out eating here!!! Delicious!!!

The place looks very fancy, but no real dress code seems to apply, so don't be scared off! Had the tuna tartar for starter which was very good and presented in a beautiful way. Then the lobster risotto for main and that unfortunately had ever so slightly undercooked rice and a lobster that was a bit dry. The dessert was the biggest disappointment - chocolate mousse that was just thrown into a bowl without any finesse and that tasted just like the kind you make yourself from powder from the supermarket. Most things on the menu (from starter to dessert) will work fine for us with gluten intolerance and following fodmap (IBS diet) as the focus is on seafood. Service was a bit stressed and the flow of things was not on their side. The waiter however recognized this without us even commenting and deducted our aperitif and coffee from the bill. The service we did get was very good though, so I would say that we caught them either on a exceptionally stressful night and/or they we're understaffed. A big plus that they have a guy that comes to your table to show you the food they'll be cooking you when ordering fish or lobster for example. Very nice touch! Over all a nice dinner in a nice restaurant, but I would not join the quire of people speaking of it as one of the best places ever. If you want fresh seafood at a fairly good price this is the place for you though.

There was outdoor seating, but that area was full so we sat inside but could still see the water. This place is pretty small. We almost didn't stay because our group of 10 was seated and ignored for probably the first 10 minutes, they were so busy attending to their local people. And I totally get that. Our waiter did warm up to us and was helpful and spoke some English. We had lunch- started out with house wines, mussels and oysters. The oysters were unlike any I have had- probably because they were so fresh. I had the scampi and prawns- a little messy but so worth it. My friend next to me had the fish of the day, wish I had sampled it, looked really good and she loved it. Everyone loved their meal. Would definitely go back, it's the real deal.

Claudio is the proprietor and pizzaiolo, originally from Naples I believe, but now a resident of Elba. The mojitos here are exceptional.
