The best seaside restaurants in Versilia
Our itinerary to discover seaside addresses for a lunch or dinner to remember
By the sea or just a few steps from the sand, the gentle sound of the waves and the salty air tease and tempt you to a lunch or dinner of strictly fresh, local fish.
If you want to discover the best seaside restaurants in Forte dei Marmi and beyond, you can purchase the book A tavola vista mare (At the table with a view of the sea), written by food and wine critics Davide Paolini and Gianni Mercatali, who trace the history and culinary tradition of this iconic place through its must-see addresses of taste.
If, on the other hand, you want to have lunch or dinner inland, HERE you will find our suggestions in Pietrasanta and HERE the restaurants not to be missed in the woods of Tuscany! Prefer to move along the coast? Here are the restaurants not to be missed in Maremma!
