Enoteca La Cantina di Massimo In Livorno

08/11/2025: Mirkos is truly a Wonderful dining experience. The food is always amazing. Franco is the perfect host, always attentive and such a warm friendly smile. On a scale of 1-5 he is 10.

19/10/2025: Today, the Carabinieri were faster than us. I don't know if they had any complaints. At least the start of our planned dinner with friends was delayed by 1.5 hours. That wouldn't be a problem if you immediately gave the guests your full attention and at least took their drink orders, but it took 25 minutes before someone deigned to take a drink order. My patience was certainly overstretched, and it's evident in these lines. When my stomach is in my knees, I'm quickly inclined to leave a restaurant, but up here in the mountains, it's hard to leave when the best wife in the world and her mother are trying to stop you... Now we've just learned the reason for the unwanted guests: apparently, there was a complaint because various cakes had been brought in for a child's birthday party by the parents and guests. In other words, the proprietor tried to rent out his premises, which apparently prompted a competitor to file a complaint. After almost two hours, we were served our appetizers: Monti e Mare, with the mountains clearly given priority. A very extensive selection, which tasted very good and put me in a good mood. Afterwards, we had grilled pork ribs and grilled rump of beef with French fries. Both were very delicious. We started with a red wine and switched to rosé for the main course, although the red wine was more to my taste. Conclusion: considering the circumstances, we had a pleasant evening with a reasonably priced meal. To the proprietor: if he finds out whether the ad came from a competitor, I hereby offer him my moral support and will avoid this competitor in the future.
