Seafood restaurants in Tuscany

  1. A

    Cantina Senese

    Food- and value-conscious harbour workers are the first to fill the long wooden tables at this wonderfully unpretentious and friendly eatery, with neighbourhood families arriving later. Ordering is frequently done via faith in one’s server, rather than by menu. The mussels are exceptionally good, as is the cacciucco di pesce (fish stew).

    Enoteca D.O.C. Parole e Cibi

    Changes its menu weekly; you can enjoy fresh pasta dishes, superb seafood and a variety of carpaccio served with bread that - for once - is entirely worth that vexing coperto (cover charge in restaurants). The wines are excellent; it styles itself as an enoteca, olioteca (oil) and whiskyteca so you can be confident of getting top quality lubricants, whatever your preference. For dessert, a sugary, chocolate pastry, with vanilla cream.

    Fuor d'Acqua

    One of only a handful of good seafood and fish restaurants in this largely meat-eating town, 'Out of Water' proposes a menu of sea critters that changes in line with what the fisherfolk have been able to catch off the Tuscan coast. The kitchen closes at 23:30, late by Florentine standards!

  4. D

    Antica Venezia

    A dog-eared, pen-written menu filled with tempting dishes can be produced, with difficulty, if requested, but servers prefer to launch straight into the catch-of-the-day specials, usually negating the need for further consideration. A giant cacciucco costs €16.

    I Quattro Amici

    Just around the corner from the train station, you can start eating well as soon as you get of the train. One of a handful of eateries in Florence that is serious about its fish, the 'Four Friends' is as friendly as it sounds and there's not a steak in sight.

    Il Giro del Cane

    A Slow Food endorsed eatery, serving up classic, yet delicious Livorno seafood dishes with the occasional creative zap. It's well worth the walk to its eccentric location.

    Vecchia Livorno

    Facing the Fortezza Nuova, this small, intimate family restaurant has a buzzy neighbourhood feel. Expect hearty, filling food; stick with the excellent fresh fish.

    Ristorante Aragosta

    Right on the waterfront, this is the place for seafood. A nondescript exterior masks inner pleasures, mainly of a fishy kind.
