"Taste, hospitality, and the Versilia sun at the Osteria al Pontile in Tonfano"
On a bright, sunny day, we chose to have lunch at the Osteria al Pontile, in the heart of Tonfano's main square. A truly pleasant location, perfectly reflecting the order and care that distinguish Versilia: well-kept green lawns, flowers everywhere, convenient services, and an overall feeling of harmony and cleanliness.
This area also boasts vast sandy beaches, which at the end of the season, with the beach resorts closed, transform into the perfect place for a relaxing after-lunch stroll, just steps from the restaurant. A truly complete experience, combining good food and the beauty of the landscape.
The welcome was warm from the start, even for our large dog, who was welcomed and made to feel at ease. It's rare to find such pet-friendly establishments without sacrificing elegance or quality service.
Lunch satisfied all the family's tastes. We started with a mixed seafood appetizer with balanced, fresh flavors. Next up was a crispy fried fish and vegetables dish, light and well-executed, and the dish I was most excited about: a clam pasta dish that lived up to every promise: flavorful, fragrant, and perfect. Definitely the highlight of our lunch.
We concluded with a tiramisu without coffee, colored with alkermes: an original, delicate twist that's definitely worth trying again.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and sunny.
We'll definitely be back: Osteria al Pontile is a perfect example of how good food, hospitality, and the beauty of the area make Versilia a special destination in every season.

One of my favorite places. Feel right at home with a plate of expertly prepared stuffed mussels in a simple, family-friendly atmosphere.
Adjacent to Tonfano's main square (ideal for those with children), it's in a beautiful location overlooking the Versilia sunsets. Authentic and homey, with one of the best value for money in the area.

What struck me most of all was the extreme courtesy of the staff that gave me hope. The menu offers both meat and fish; I chose the paccheri and tried the linguine because the dish was abundant. The flavor is there and you can taste it. Pasta cooked al dente, and "real" fish. I'm not used to "scarpetta", but in this case they brought us three baskets of a wonderful bread ("brushed". My friend ordered a hamburger that arrived on a plate full of chips. The location is strategic and overlooks the square. We had lunch in the outdoor area. The prices are those of a place intended for a different audience from modest trattorias but even ordering just one dish you "leave" satisfied.
