Trattoria Ometto In Carrara

17/09/2025: On the way to Tuscany, we stopped almost by chance at Trattoria La Fornace in Massa, and I must say it turned out to be an interesting discovery, especially for those traveling and needing a hassle-free stop. The restaurant is simple, with the option of dining outside thanks to a practical and quiet terrace. The staff was friendly and helpful, creating a familiar and relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers traditional Tuscan dishes and home cooking, without excess or refinement, but with an overall convincing quality. Among the dishes we tried, the tagliata was truly excellent: tender and well-cooked meat, served with attention. The vegetables, on the other hand, were less memorable, but still passable. What's striking is the quality-price ratio: for a modest outlay, you can eat well, simply, and without surprises. It's a simple trattoria, ideal for those looking for a quick and substantial meal while traveling, without the effort or expense of a more elaborate restaurant. Ultimately, La Fornace isn't a memorable place for its atmosphere or originality, but it's a worthwhile and convenient stop. It's one of those trattorias that never disappoints, thanks to the friendly service and some well-executed dishes.
