Bib Gourmand 1

Osteria del Mare già il "Votapentole"

Bib Gourmand€€Seafood, Mediterranean Cuisine

In the city center, there's a small but lively restaurant with cheerful colors and a charming outdoor area on the pedestrian street. The atmosphere is always relaxed, even in summer when dining is only in the evening and tables are in high demand (reservations are essential). The menu is a journey through the sea: always featuring raw seafood, tuna amatriciana, cacciucco, and other classic dishes with imaginative touches.

Osteria del Mare offers Mediterranean seafood and Tuscan cuisine with an average TripAdvisor rating of 3.8/5. Food highlights include fresh wild octopus, oysters, and the signature cacciucco, praised for their quality and presentation. However, some guests found portions standard and quality unremarkable.

In classic settings embellished with many plants and customised by the porphyry floor, while in warm weather we move to the outdoor area overlooking the splendid Piazza Dante, in any case they serve Maremma cuisine of excellent fragrance and based on impeccable raw material, both fish (our suggestion goes for the steamed catch of the day with vegetables and freshly made mayonnaise) and meat.
