Pesce Baracca
Viale Franceschi, 2 - 55042 Forte Dei Marmi (LU)
0584 1716337
Pesce Baracca is not only a market and street but also a restaurant a few steps from the noble sands of Forte dei Marmi. It is a simple, immediate, informal restaurant, but it pays attention to the tradition of classic cuisine. There are first courses prepared with fresh homemade pasta, the inevitable spaghetti allo scoglio prepared according to the classic family recipe, handed down from generation to generation since the opening of the first restaurant in 1964. The restaurant's special feature is undoubtedly the possibility of choosing fish and shellfish directly from the fishmonger's counter.
The Fratellini's
Via della Repubblica, 2a
0584.82931
The Fratellini's is a unique place of its kind, born from the challenge of two brothers, David and Marco Vaiani, who have synergistically combined their passion for cooking to create a trendy and dynamic reality, bringing to the table works of art capable of triggering multi-sensory experiences. With this new adventure, a new concept of catering is born, offering you the possibility to freely choose how, what and when to eat and drink. Don't miss the excellent sushi, but also the raw fish and the excellent first courses.
