Abbiamo cominciato con un'ottima carpaccio di tonno delicato e saporitissimo e seguito con linguine al calamaro e cipolla in sugo nero ... deliziose: il piatto migliore che ho avuto all'Elba. Vermentino locale, profiteroles... e ammazzacaffè. Il servizio non è sempre "efficientissimo", ma l'atmosfera "di famiglia" è veramente calorosa ed unica: non la cambierei per nulla al mondo. Il fermarsi a fare due chiacchiere spontanee ed oneste con clienti di vecchia data e nuovi (come noi) è impagabile ed insostituibile. Tornerò certamente la prossima volta che sarò all'Elba.

This was very very good pizza. Having lived in Italy this is probably the second best pizza I have…read morehad in this entire country. My wife made us order one to go for our villa. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will not make it to the morning completely intact! Also had the bruschetta, scalopinni which were very good. However, our tiramisu and Pana cotta were excellent.

This is the best restaurant I have encountered in more than 15 years of annual visits to Italy. And…read moreit's on the island of Elba, Tuscany. The owner is from Naples and the pizza reflects just that. The salads are wonderful too. We had the penne all'arrabbiata and the spaghetti polpo di riccio(pulp from sea urchin) both were incredible! The Zuppa di Mare was so huge and so delicious!! Full of mussels, swordfish, clams, octopus, squid , baby crabs and the best red broth ever. We also had the scallopine con porcini mushrooms and tagliata con Parmesan. Both were good but nothing compared to the Zuppa di Mare. It was so huge I thought they were charging us double as we were two. But no when I'll conto arrived we were only charged for 1. Awesome. The staff is amazing!!! So friendly, professional and totally on the ball. I highly recommend this place and when you can come ask for Enzo and tell him Peggy and Francesco sent you. Buon Appetito

This is the restaurant at the beach establishment we rented an umbrella at for the month of August,…read morebut we literally never ate there until we returned for a final weekend in September! It's probably a good thing because we would have spent way too much money eating here more regularly :) But seriously, the price is in the norm for any good fish restaurant anywhere you are, and pretty reasonable for being right on the beach. If you're a regular client paying cash, the owner will recognize you and give you a discount. We paid 30 euros a head for primo, a shared secondo between two people, water, wine and sorbet - which is kinda a great deal. In an unusual twist, primi and secondi cost about the same - making the secondi a very good deal. Most dishes around 13 or 14 euro. We tried a gnocchi with fish and tomatoes and zucchini - good - and a filled pasta with fish both inside and out. Grilled octopus and grilled totani, spaghetti with clams... all very very good. Service was friendly and everything was cooked upon ordering, so timing was acceptable - it was a reasonable wait considering it was being cooked from scratch. They were very attentive to my food allergies, too. For dessert we had the traditional glass of creamy lemon sorbet which I just love.
