We went back the next night for dinner and told "Max"what we wanted based on what we saw the night before, which was fresh seafood. He told us to sit down and he would take care of us. Indeed he did. We had an amazing dinner of grilled prawns paired with unoaked effervescent Chardonnay, super light and dry, perfect. He also don't try to upcharge us one bit. Just tell Max what you want and he will make it happen. Sure the service is laxed, I mean come on you are in Tuscany. Also noticed that many locals came here to eat.

Where do I start??…read more I'll start with an O. Then an M. Then a G. Then a YUM! We are two adults and two kids (10 and 13 years old). We just drove in today after 3 days in Venice where we had really good food. We were tired and hungry and a quick Google search showed us this restaurant very close to our hotel. We didn't have reservations and we walked in just before a large birthday party and they accommodated us quickly and with a "prego!" It's a small restaurant but not too small, and a little loud which is fine because we could hear each other fine. We started with the mussels, which were excellent (and better than anything we've had in the States where we usually eat lots of mussels). The broth was tasty and the mussels just a bit small, but it served the 4 of us and we were left wanting a LOT more. For meals, my wife had scaciatielli with clams and shrimps, and I had spaghetti with clams. They were divine with a generous amount of seafood. My daughter had gnocchi alla' sorrentina and enjoyed it very much - she's a gnocchi connoisseur and said it was her favorite gnocchi ever. I stole a piece and have to agree. They were soft but not gummy with an excellent sauce and cheese. My son had the pizze bufalo, which was awesome with a little thicker crust than you get in Venice. For dessert (and you KNOW we got dessert) we had chocolate cheesecake and chocolate cake with coconut mousse. If you like coconut, the coconut mousse will blow you away! The cheesecake comes in a jar, deconstructed, but covered in chocolate sauce. We had to pry it out of my daughter's hands! Overall, we'll be in Cortona 3 days. We'll eat here all three days! Tutte buona!!!! Perfetto!

This restaurant was a lovely seafood restaurant, directed to us by our villa owner. I was very…read morepleased with it-- the fish were fresh, the service was outstanding, and the crowd of locals it brought in were fun. It is not a restaurant for the faint of heart, though-- expect full fish with heads, full octopi, etc. We started off with an octopus appetizer, which I loved. It was tasty, juicy, and the perfect texture. My first course was a clam pasta, in which I was given at least sixty little clams atop fresh, oily noodles. I have a feeling I'm not on Mulberry Street, anymore, Toto! I followed that up with a green peppercorn steak, which had a sauce so delightful that I ate every single peppercorn well after I had finished all of the meat! Post-meal, we were given iced wine drinks served in champagne glasses and homemade limoncello on the house. Service was friendly and quite accommodating. The weird thing is that they staggered our dishes one-by-one... But I think that was totally our fault, because we had tried to explain that we were sharing the octopus, but I think that was lost in translation and they thought that we were sharing EVERYTHING. It didn't matter-- vacations should have no time frame!!! Lighting inside was very bright, which was really odd, but it didn't detract from our experience at all. It's well worth the trip, especially if you are away from the sea but craving delicious seafood. I would go here again if I ever found myself in this region again.

The most creative dish we had was the Codfish Cappuccino, a codfish mousse topped with potato foam, served in a cappuccino cup with a croissant on the side. It was made to look like breakfast but was a savory seafood appetizer! One nice feature about the menu here was that many dishes could be ordered in a "Tapas" (half) portion, so it was easy to try and share lots of different items. The Catalan-style Calamari and Shrimp Salad was a refreshing mixture of chopped squid mixed with zucchini, carrots, fennel, tomatoes, and oranges; the Fusili with Galician-style Octopus Sauce came with al dente corkscrew pasta in a tomato-based octopus ragout made with spicy salami and topped with potato foam; and the Cacciucco was a tomato-based stew (from the Tuscan coastal city of Livorno) made with octopus, cuttlefish, mussels, and gurnard, along with dry chunks of bread that were moistened in the stew. Finally, we had the Isolana-Style Sea Bream Fillet, which was simply grilled and served over roasted vegetables including zucchini, potatoes, peppers, onions, and olives. Overall, the seafood here was fresh and tasty, fusing elements of Spanish and Italian cuisines.
