  • 1. Lorenzo

    $$$$

    The affable Lorenzo Viani has presided here for more than 30 years, and his restaurant still draws a well-heeled, sophisticated crowd. The menu relies heavily on creatures from the sea; a typical starter is spaghetti versiliese, served with shellfish and fresh tomato as is done in the northern Tuscan coastal town of Versilia. Proceed to the magnificent aquatic version of bollito misto comprising crustaceans and fish, boiled, served with a savory mayonnaise. Or request one of several tasting menus, and let chef Gioacchino Pontrelli prepare the freshest items of the day. You can also choose vegetarian and terra (meat) tasting menus.

  • 2. Pino Ristorante

    $$$

    Locals swear by this small, unpretentious trattoria a couple of blocks from the beach, where the Artizzu family has been serving specialties from the sea since 1979. The house specialty aragosta alla catalana con verdure (Mediterranean lobster with steamed and raw vegetables) is pricey but divine, and the spiedino di sogliola (sole kebab) arrives with silken mashed potatoes topped with bottarga (a smoked-tuna product). If you can't decide, opt for the tasting menu, which gives you a little bit of a lot of the menu. Patrizia makes all the desserts; remember to leave room for them.

    Via Matteotti 18, Viareggio, Tuscany, 55049, Italy
    0584-961356

    Known For

    • Dishes vary depending on conditions at sea

  • 3. Osteria del Mare

    $$

    Husband and wife Claudio and Marila run this fish restaurant across the (busy) street from the docks. The decor's nothing to write home about (paneled walls with framed prints and navigational coats of arms)—here, it's all about the creative dishes and desserts.

    Borgo Cappuccini 5, Livorno, Tuscany, 57000, Italy
    0586-881027

    Known For

    • Inventive dishes
    • Fish of the day
    • Marila's cheesecake

    Rate Includes: Closed Thurs.
  • 4. Romano

    $$$$

    The Franceschini family has been running this swank seafood eatery since the 1970s. Ebullient host Romano Franceschini is justifiably proud of the food formerly produced by his wife, Franca (she still oversees the kitchen); son Roberto, an accomplished sommelier, presides over the floor. Don't miss the fantasia di pesce crudo (fantasy of raw fish), which arrives at the table with an aroma redolent of the sea, and follow up with any of the marvelous fish seconds. Or you can leave everything in the Franceschinis' hands and order the tasting menu (€125 without wine).

    Via Mazzini 120, Viareggio, Tuscany, 55049, Italy
    0584-31382

    Known For

    • Fish brought daily from the docks
    • Phenomenal wine list
    • Romano and Roberto

  • 5. Trattoria da Lido

    $$

    This well-established restaurant serves commendable primi and stellar elbana (whitefish baked with vegetables and potatoes). The bustling, casual trattoria is in the old center of Portoferraio, at the beginning of the road to the old Medici walls.

    Salita del Falcone 2, Portoferraio, Tuscany, 57037, Italy
