24/10/2025: Extremely pleasant venue
The dishes convey a sense of special attention to quality, starting with the raw ingredients. The flavors are delicate (I tried the rice with seafood ragù, delicious and flawless. Personally, it could have used a little more character, but it was excellent nonetheless).
The menu features unusual offerings.
The service is quick, courteous, and very friendly, as well as willing to clarify and accommodate special requests.
The venue is very well-maintained, with clean and well-maintained bathrooms (I must say, we were only a few customers). The location is excellent, a building on stilts on the beach; dining outside is accompanied by the sound of the waves. For those who prefer to sit inside, I greatly appreciated the choice of background music, which helps you relax and isolate yourself without interrupting conversation.
I visited the restaurant during the week in October, so parking wasn't an issue.
The prices are high, consistent with the service.
19/10/2025: First visit and impressed by the quality and sensuality
Anyone passing through San Vincenzo should definitely stop by here. The location of the restaurant "Il Bucaniere," north of the harbor on stilts by the sea, offers a wonderful place to relax with a variety of visual impressions and culinary delights.
The delicious Campari Spritz prepared us well for the evening. For starters, we chose tuna tartare, and for me, tuna with red cabbage and mayo. For main course, the fish of the day, spigola, served with saffron vegetables and avocado tomato salad. The Serre Nuove 14.5% from Ornellaia was the perfect wine accompaniment for us. We also had delicious ice cream with our coffee. And don't forget, here you can get fresh bread, just like we Swiss love.
The quality and service of the food completely convinced us, and we will definitely return. Although I don't have the receipt, the price/performance ratio was right for us – upscale but definitely worth the price.
The ambiance is wonderfully perfect for us country folk. The friendly and courteous service fulfilled all our requests, such as seeking shade, a slightly stronger Campari Spritz, and a more leisurely pace.
Next time, we palefaces will make sure we don't sit in the front line in the sun, but rather in a shady area. There's plenty of parking nearby.
All I can say is: "See you soon!"
