Al Polpo Marino In Piombino

17/09/2025: Overall, it's a nice place, but honestly, I expected better food quality. The appetizer wasn't bad, but I didn't think the pesto on the trofie was very flavorful, while the tuna tartare on top was good. The baked cheesecake was also very good and well-priced. Good service and an intimate yet quaint and welcoming location.

12/09/2025: We were looking for a place to eat typical Livorno dishes. By chance, while we were on Via Borra, we noticed this small, homey trattoria that inspired us. We ordered the fish trio, which had a surprise: a fish, probably dogfish, that was truly delicious. The other fish in the trio were also cooked and served excellently. For first courses, we had gnocchi with zucchini and cuttlefish, which were good but not as good as the other first course, and trofie with pesto, burrata, and tuna tartare. They still filled us up and delighted us. The service was very sparse, but welcoming and suited the setting. They brought us plenty of bread, considering the €1 per person cover charge. The bill was in line with what we ate, and it's definitely worth returning a second time to try the other dishes on the small menu listed on the blackboard. Overall, we enjoyed the experience very much, even if it was a bit chaotic due to the chatter of the customers, who all seemed to be affiliated with the place.
