I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Livorno

03/07/2025: Tucked into a medieval village rich with history and charm, this little gem surprises at every turn. The setting feels like a postcard — cobbled streets, ancient walls, and a view that whispers stories. But it’s the food that truly steals the show: exquisitely presented, refined in flavor, and bordering on Michelin-level finesse. A rare find where atmosphere and culinary artistry meet effortlessly.

30/06/2025: We just had dinner. Everything was great,

06/07/2025: Possibility to eat both outside in the square, and inside in the lower part adjacent to the "cantinetta". Inside the very welcoming and air-conditioned environment (a "godsend" if it's hot and muggy outside!! Also more intimate and quiet). Very kind and professional staff. Very well stocked cellar. Excellent both meat and fish dishes. Simply sublime desserts! Must try!

26/06/2025: Small, quaint restaurant, good food, satisfactory service, honest prices. Friendly chef..

09/06/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant with typical Livorno cuisine!

07/06/2025: A very well-kept place with a very poetic summer terrace. Must try! Of course, the cuisine is also very worthy, as is the service. An exceptional fish menu, with some unusual dishes.

06/06/2025: A modest sized restaurant but excellent in food. Over the past 5 years I have been going there every now and then. It has never disappointed me in terms of goodness and prices. I highly recommend it and after many years it continues to maintain the same TOP standard.

09/05/2025: Very much a great home food place with excellent prices. Very friendly, would reccomend for lunch and we will back when back in that part of town!

21/06/2025: Starter: Tagliarini with clams and tomatoes. The taste was wonderful. Followed by the best pizzas. We were served by Chiara and Manuel who took excellent care of us.

19/06/2025: The start was not the best, unfortunately we waited a bit before being served and the waitress despite our signals, arrived very late.... letting 2 couples go ahead. But then ... Chiara arrived! The Regno del mare was excellent! And her support and attention were great. And finally the sgroppino and TOP!!!!

12/06/2025: Based on two dinners, everything was perfect!!

03/06/2025: Great food and excellent service. The only thing that seemed not up to par was the space for diners (small tables) and the space between tables. For the rest... recommended!

28/06/2025: It was okay. The food was high quality, even if it lacked something special. The service was rather below average, except when the chef personally took care of things, in which case it worked. The restrooms were okay.

27/06/2025: Unique experience! Great value for money.

16/06/2025: I share my experience, which did not fully meet my expectations, to make some observations that, I hope, will not be taken as criticism but as ideas for improvement. Let me start by saying that we ate outside, the outside part is right on the Aurelia where cars and scooters do not concern each other. Most likely the inside experience is certainly excellent, soft music, in the environment. But in the summer it is natural that you want to stay outside. Our dinner lasted two hours and we all couldn't wait to leave because the noise did not allow us to relax and chat. The director's chairs, this was of course our opinion, uncomfortable for someone who is no longer a kid. Let's move on to the food. Excellent raw materials (and you can taste it) The amazing boiled seafood. The other dishes were cooked with taste and skill but some things did not convince us (the filling for example in the calamari stew, a first course of chitarra a little too greasy, and the gnocchi too too tasty). In any case I repeat they were good dishes and cooked with skill. The only criticism however is the quality-price ratio with the premises made before. The prices, always in our opinion and we are not the absolute truth, are a little too high if, in fact, applied to the outdoor environment which, in summer, is also practically the most popular place.

22/05/2025: Excellent food, super desserts, Too bad there are few seats, we ate outside on a very cool evening because the inside, not having booked, was full. Very professional staff. Prices adequate for the high quality of the dishes.

13/06/2025: A wonderful evening in a very authentic Tuscan restaurant. Delicious and affordable food!

13/06/2025: Highly recommended. Delicious pizza at a reasonable price.

02/07/2025: The food is incredibly delicious. This was the best meal I've had in a long time.

28/06/2025: Service leaves something to be desired Food good

30/05/2025: A lovely and charming seafood restaurant run by a family that’s been doing this for a couple decades! The owner who is the head chef is truly wonderful like the rest of the staff and we loved everything we had for our dinner. Every course was mesmerizing and I truly think this restaurant has the best seafood on the island. I can totally recommend the soup that everyone has mentioned in the comments but everything else is also equally delicious. We had amazing shrimp, mussels and clams, bruschettas with anchovies and mozzarella, seafood soup, shrimp risotto and fish with potato crust. The latter was the highlight of the dinner. The staff was also super friendly and sweet which made the whole experience wonderful. I look forward to coming back when I return to Elba island.

25/05/2025: It was recommended to us for the fish soup, the best on the island! We had a soup for 2 and two fillets of sea bream with potatoes. Abundant and delicious dishes!! Really super soup! We will return, thank you!

21/06/2025: The food was delicious, the pizza and pasta were good. The seafood was highly recommended.

21/06/2025: Hello dear readers, We (5 adults and 5 children) ate at La Ventola twice. Atmosphere: The tables are located under a veranda and therefore mostly in the shade. The outdoor area, the restaurant, and the restrooms were well-maintained and clean. There's a small "playground" for the children, making the wait for their food easier. Food: The selection wasn't huge, but absolutely sufficient. The value for money was great, and all the dishes were delicious. Service: The service staff was attentive and very friendly. Communication was excellent using a mix of Italian, German, and English. Note: Unfortunately, we only ate twice, as the restaurant was subsequently closed by the Italian authorities...

20/05/2025: Meglio per un’aperitivo che per cena nel senso che hanno una bella carta dei vini e ai tavolini fuori è gradevole la situazione con degli stuzzichini. Per cena sono andato con amici ad abbiamo preso antipasto mare dove c’era una tartare di tonno, dei pezzettini di polpo e un crostino con un formaggio sopra, tutto molto buono ma era una porzione davvero troppo risicata, cosi come il secondo un trancio di tonno con patate arrosto, anch’esso piccolo con poche patate, tanto è vero che ci siamo dovuti saziare con tante fette di pane e olio e all’unanimità abbiamo detto che devono aumentare le quantità. Spesa € 35 con una bottiglia di vino in tre (non eccezionale ma bevibile) e appunto antipasto e secondo. Locale carino e personale gentile e disponibile.

20/05/2025: Aperitif in a youthful and relaxing context

25/06/2025: I returned to this restaurant after many years and was disappointed by the cacciucco. The mussels were not fresh but were a bit hard, dried out and did not smell good, the cicadas were old, the broth was made with tomato sauce from a jar. In short, I expected better and the people at the table next to me had the same impression. Too bad.

06/06/2025: We were tired of the meat-centric dishes in Tuscany so we decided to take a detour here on our way to Firenze from Siena. Best decision ever!! The seafood was amazingly fresh and the lady host was very nice and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

29/05/2025: The best pizzas I've ever eaten! The one with buffalo mozzarella is excellent. Friendly and kind staff.

23/05/2025: The food was quite good, and overall, I highly recommend it. A warm, family-friendly atmosphere, and very prompt and good service.
