Carmen Bay In Capalbio

03/05/2026: Everything was superb, from the bread basket to the service. I contacted the restaurant via Google for a few details to celebrate my husband's birthday. I didn't need to explain anything; they watched us from afar and knew how to enter the scene at the perfect moment. Fantastic! The Gambero Rosso restaurant has a unique feature: you can smell the sea more inside than outside, and I'm not kidding. The menu is basic but full of character; we ordered everything off the menu, except for dessert. The fried purple shrimp was heavenly; sweet, flavorful, and super lightly fried. The first course was tagliolini with shrimp and bottarga: a unique explosion of flavors and aromas, truly unique in very few places. The second course was baked snapper with cherry tomatoes, olives, and capers: it was like coming home to my grandparents. The dessert: a lemon ice cream with a Nuorese basil sauce and a contrasting sweet/savory base. A delicate and decisive balance, totally unexpected. The service was outstanding; we felt pampered every minute, and the staff was attentive, helping us make the best choices for us—something we didn't take for granted. The service was exceptional; we ate from appetizer to dessert in two hours, unhurriedly. We'll definitely be back, because Gambero Rosso isn't a place you'll easily forget.
