Ai Bastioni In Grosseto

Very good, homemade food. Clean place and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I trusted the good reviews, but I was greatly disappointed. If the staff had asked me, I would have gladly told them in person, but the lady didn't show as much attention to a woman dining alone as she did to the beautiful, well-dressed family at the next table (perhaps a tourist for her?). It's a shame I'm a local but moved abroad. €14 Spaghetti with clams made with BUTTER For me, this is a blasphemy against Italian cuisine because in 15 years of gastronomy, it's never happened to me (only abroad 🥲), and I ate it both out of hunger and because, with my education, I would never have allowed myself to make a fuss. €16 Mixed grilled fish. In Grosseto, I expected at least the shrimp to be fresh. It's a shame they weren't, otherwise they would have been free of black intestines and could have been peeled without much effort. In any case, I fear the rest of the fish hadn't been fresh either, otherwise it wouldn't have been so bland. Maybe it's the wrong day... I think this is the first negative review I've made the effort to write because I have a lot of understanding, being in the industry. But precisely for this reason, when it comes to raw ingredients in Italy, things like this break the heart, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts! I've always been committed to conveying the essence and culture of our extraordinary cuisine (I don't come from any Michelin-starred restaurant), and eating like this when I return to my homeland is unacceptable. I also consumed a bottle of sparkling water. Paid €38. Thinking about it with a clear head after the shock, €8 for water and cover charge? That also smacks of mockery... (Reading other reviews where dessert and a glass of wine were also consumed for €40), but the €8 is irrelevant compared to the pain I felt when I saw clams before my eyes and smelled only butter. I admit I'm writing this with anger because I couldn't wait to enjoy a proper seafood meal, and maybe I chose the wrong dishes, but I still believe that simple things are the best. The staff, probably family-run, is clearly doing their best right from the moment you arrive, but I would have appreciated a little more smile from the lady at the restaurant :) to make me feel more at ease. I hope my experience is an isolated one and doesn't happen to anyone else who loves good, simple, and authentic food like I do.

Ai Bastioni is a reference point for those who want to experience cuisine as a truly sensory experience. The dishes, the result of a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, are distinguished by their balance, refinement, and the quality of the ingredients. This is also thanks to Sandro, an attentive and discreet host, capable of combining professionalism and human warmth. His quiet direction is evident in every detail: from the welcome to the attentive service, to the attention to the guest, always the absolute protagonist of the experience. Ai Bastioni is not simply a restaurant, but a destination where taste, atmosphere, and hospitality come together, leaving a memory that invites you to return. See you soon! Stefano
