Il Bucaniere Restaurant
📍 Viale Guglielmo Marconi 22 – San Vincenzo (LI) – Telephone: +39 335 8001695
In San Vincenzo, Il Bucaniere continues the legacy of Fulvio Pierangelini under the stewardship of his son Fulvietto. The restaurant, a stilt house on the beach with a design by Massimiliano Fuksas, is founded upon the quality of its raw ingredients and the seasonality of the Val di Cornia. The dishes, seemingly uncomplicated, conceal rigorous balances and distinctive flavours. The sunset view is utterly unmissable.
La Tana del Pirata Restaurant
📍 Via Milano 17, Marina di Castagneto Carducci LI – Telephone: +39 0565 744143
The La Tana del Pirata, passionately managed by the Olmi family, offers Tuscan cuisine that harmonises tradition, excellence of raw materials, and gourmet touches. The menu presents refined and inventive dishes, such as the exaggerated spaghetti, ‘maltagliati’ with sea bream and truffle, grilled fresh fish, catalana, grand royal platters of crustaceans, and raw seafood. The desserts are homemade and the wine list includes exemplary wines from the Bolgheri region. Dining takes place on the establishment’s terrace, fronting the sea, in an elegant and evocative setting. Dining “alla Tana” is an truly unforgettable experience.
