Osteria il Cinquino In Massa marittima

Here, "almost everything" is still made by hand. Run by genuine older locals, you're also served by them. Very friendly and authentic.

I stopped by Osteria Il Cinquino for lunch, and I have to say the place has a quiet, simple atmosphere. You can only eat outside, which is nice on nice days, though its location, practically on the roundabout, can be a bit noisy: when a heavy vehicle passes by, the noise interrupts the tranquility a bit. Nothing dramatic, but it's good to know. The food is the best part of lunch: excellent dishes, clearly homemade, with authentic flavors you can't find everywhere. And above all, the prices are incredibly low compared to what they offer. Honestly, quality like this at that price is hard to find. During lunch, I also had the company of several cats roaming freely in the outdoor area. They're discreet, don't get too close, but they make the atmosphere even more welcoming. In short: a simple, good, affordable lunch in a place with character. Traffic aside, I think it gets a thumbs up.

Rustic tavern..very good pici..typical desserts..very kind people.

Excellent food and generous portions in a simple setting.

I wanted to give the food five stars, but I rated it lower because the atmosphere isn't as great as the food. It's an old fisherman's tavern that now serves fresh fish to perfection. We've passed by several times, and today, for the first time, we decided to go for lunch. We couldn't have had a better idea. We'll be back to try the other homemade dishes. Congratulations!

Everything was excellent in a very informal setting that was so welcoming it felt like you were eating with friends.

Absolutely amazing. Only fish. But the 83-year-old chef is top-notch.

Yes, the food overshadows everything else, of course! The 83-year-old chef himself cooks incredibly delicious food! We had the octopus and the fish platter, truly amazing! And the regional wine – a delight! Absolutely recommended!

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was super friendly and helpful. The white wine was excellent. Yes, the ambiance is very spartan, but everything was clean. It's definitely worth a visit.

I'll be blunt: I saw this place from the outside out of curiosity. We went in for dinner and had a wonderful meal. The fish was excellent. The place was simple and the staff were very friendly. The waitress was very kind to our daughter, even showing her the cats. Highly recommended.
