The best beach restaurants Toscane

A bar-restaurant open only in season, located on the small beach of Madonna delle Grazie, ideal for a simple lunch in the shade on the terrace, facing the waves. Its rustic decoration and succinct menu do not prevent this address from being an institution! The strong personality of the owner, Tosca Sardi, has something to do with it. The seafood cuisine, local, simple and tasty too. The place seems to have survived the tourist wave, and we like that! As well as the beautiful sunsets from the terrace...

There are places that keep their souls intact over time. This is the case of La Bussola, a piece of Portoferraio's history, a meeting point for the Elboe generations and tourists. Its terrace, on the beach of Les Ghiaie, was the dance floor for summer evenings. Today, the restaurant has been renewed and Chef Filippo offers an affordable menu, a clever blend of tradition (all'Elbana octopus, cacciucco, fish carpaccio) and more unusual dishes (spaghetti with tuna belly or three fish eggs).

Restaurant Da Ledo was the first tourist establishment in Lacona, opened by Bolano Ledo in the 1940s. Since 1992, it has been brilliantly managed by the Barresi family. On the Lacona waterfront, practically with your feet in the water, the terrace of this restaurant-pizzeria offers a charming panorama that attracts many people. And rightly so! On the menu, a cuisine dedicated to seafood and excellent pizzas cooked over a wood fire. There is also a bar service with breakfast in the morning, ice creams and aperitifs, with a view of the sea.

Surrounded by golden sand, almost with its feet in the water, La Capannina restaurant is located on the Procchio waterfront, in one of the most spectacular bays on Elba. On the menu, bold and contemporary recipes, without forgetting the island's tradition. Between the finely selected meats, the catch of the day, the fruits and vegetables of the season, the dishes seduce on a light and fresh mode. Please note that this restaurant is owned by the Hotel del Golfo and is open to all for lunch and dinner, upon reservation.
