Da Santarino In Follonica

The food was exceptional. The service was a bit distracted.

A wonderful discovery: excellent quality fish, tender and tasty fried prawns, excellent grilled fish....

Traditional Maremma dishes, cooked for many years with passion and commitment.

We sit down at 12:30. We order and they immediately bring us the appetizer to share, and then for the next 40 minutes, no one else is seen. We hear some rather silly comments from the waitress (should we bring all the first courses at once...???) and even the waiter, when we ask for our first courses, replies that it's best not to comment. Finally, the first courses arrive: spaghetti with clams, which I'd say are just adequate. First of all, they're not clams, and that should be stated and specified. Do you know how much lupini beans cost compared to clams? Lupini beans on one side and spaghetti on the other. Pasta with anchovies and capers: a bit mushy but acceptable, even if nothing more than what you can easily make at home. I'd say the fried food was good, not abundant but good. The only positive note is that when it came time to pay, the owner apologized for the delay. I'm sorry, but I didn't find what I was hoping for 🤷‍♂️

The restaurant is also within walking distance as it is located in the center behind the covered market. This restaurant has always had excellent reviews. I remember back in the day that they already had takeout, and my parents would give me the pot to buy cacciucco! There has always been a family atmosphere and a relationship of mutual affection! The food is excellent and the price is right, especially for the fish-based dishes. The octopus is always tender and tasty, the fried food is not greasy and crunchy, and the pasta is tasty and cooked al dente! There are two dining rooms and outdoor seating, especially in nice weather! We always organize birthday parties for 15 people!

If you're passing through Follonica, you have to try this restaurant. They're very friendly and the food is excellent. I had a delicious pasta with clams and a wonderful homemade cream caramel. Highly recommended.

Historic place, no frills But excellent food and service!! Decent prices.

A historic Follonica restaurant right in the center. The food is good. Very popular, reservations are required.

What can I say: looking for a trattoria, I stumbled upon this one. Excellent fried food. Delicious dessert. Now I'm going to pay...and I'll let you know.

Excellent food. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
