Il Sottomarino

Great restaurant, lovely food and nice setting. Amuse bouche was very nice. Warm seafood salad and ravioli were standout dishes

Fresh seafood with reasonable price. Warm service.

The food was simply bland - every single dish. We have visited a few Michelin guide recommended (or starred) restaurants but this is the first one where we are totally lost why it is featured at all. Overpriced, overthought, overrated - a nice looking tourist trap at best.

Unmatched table in Tuscany by the sea. Exceptional in every aspect and real value for money. The $$$ in Google profile are deceptive. Bravo to the chef and the team. It is not by accident that you have to book well in advance. The spirit of offering value to the customer goes further from the menu to the wine list. The service is top. The only cons are the lack of rythm between the different plates, however not really disturbing, and the really great difficulty to find a parking place. After half an hour of search, we finaly found a place where we got a ticket.

Position: Seafood restaurant in a prime location facing the sea. We were seated in the garden area as opposed to the front terrace surrounded by the intense scent of jasmine. Ambience: Low noise levels and sense of intimacy with tables well spaced. Covid-19 rules fully respected. Subtle lighting on the tables (Flos) so no glare. Very pleasant! Service: Excellent service. A special mention to Anna, a delightfully helpful and friendly waitress who attended to all our needs. Food: Food was well presented although portions were contained. Maybe the mixed seafood dish could have been hotter (piping is always preferred). "Cannoli" for dessert were delicious (chef is Sicilian so he knows his profession!). Fresh pineapple chunks could have been served in a more eye-pleasing way and perhaps some experimentation from the chef would have created a more exciting dessert. Extra virgin olive oil from Massa Marittima (Morisfarms) was very much appreciated with the accompanying bread. Wine: White Vermentino also from Massa Marittima (same estate) was ordered and given full marks for its fruity and light flavour. Supporting the local economy deserves top marks! Pricing: The bill for two came to 90 euro. Thank you for the very pleasant evening! Booking in advance is necessary!

First things first. Book! Especially in high season. Waiting outside in the heat, hoping for a table that may never materialise, it's just not worth it. As for the restaurant per se, there's a reasonable selection of sea food dishes on the menu at an affordable price. The whole, accompanied by a nice wine selection where there were some interesting bottles from Francia Corta (try them out). Of the dishes we ordered, all were extremely well prepared, but some of them had a few quirks and lapses that are unacceptable at a Michelin mentioned restaurant. A case in hand, the "polpo spadellato" which, in our case, had acquired a strong smoked/burnt aroma that spoilt the experience. Others, like the "ravioli alla razza", came with a sauce that, in our opinion, did nothing for the excellent ravioli except smother their taste. Still of the eight dishes we had, most were excellent (the "trancio di morone" for example), well presented and well cooked. The desserts are very good and I suggest you share them at the table so everyone can try different things. The waiters were professional and courteous, sometimes distracted by perhaps having too many tables given the number of personnel available. Prices are in the norm for a sea food restaurant, especially if you consider the quality of the service and the 'ambiance'.

I was kept waiting for a long time outside in the cold because I hadn’t booked. Too long to simply set a table for just one person. Too long to be able to order. The meal was just about tasty and partially made it up for the previous discomfort

This is a fantastic culinary journey. Upper class of seafood dining - my favorite was the grilled octopus with green peas. The staff is very professional and kind and was a special to see that at the end the man behind the creations come out to talk with the guests. Sad, that I am not speaking Italian to thank them for a great dinner.

The hostess would barely look at us when we didn't speak Italian until we asked for someone who spoke English. Turned us away for a table, went to dinner two doors down. After leaving half the restaurant was still empty. Wouldn't recommend going based on that interaction. Disappointing because the reviews looked great.
