Rank 6. Oasi
Mediterranean Seafood
A beach club that quietly grew up around its restaurant, Oasi sits on the Follonica waterfront where a husband and wife split duties between kitchen and floor. He's self-taught and lets it show in small, confident ways, the kind of seafood place where the classic preparations get a personal nudge rather than a makeover. The Ligurian coast crowd who wander in for lunch sometimes forget to leave before dinner.

Rank 7. Il Sottomarino
Mediterranean Seafood
A seafront terrace with panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian has made this family-run seafood restaurant a seasonal booking scramble for years. The menu leans classic Mediterranean, fish-forward and unfussy, but the desserts take a detour: dark chocolate cannoli, served upright, filled with gianduja semifreddo and finished with a Moscato d'Asti zabaglione. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks with the crowd's general mood of pleased-with-themselves regulars.

Rank 8. l' Ciocio - Osteria di Suvereto
Regional Italian
-
Rank 9. La Pineta
Classic Seafood
You drive through a pine forest and land practically on the sand before you spot the low, unassuming building that holds one of Tuscany's most quietly serious seafood restaurants, a Michelin-starred one. The Zazzeri family has been running this room forever, and the interior feels pleasantly stuck in another era. Classic techniques, local catch, no trend-chasing. The beach view does the decorating.

Rank 14. Bracali
Contemporary Italian
A discreet door in the tiny hamlet of Ghirlanda opens into a Michelin-starred contemporary Italian restaurant where two brothers have divided the work neatly: one cooks, one pours. The tasting menus move between meat and fish with modern confidence, and the wine cellar is split into two rooms, Italy on one side and the rest of the world on the other. Reservations are mandatory, which the hamlet's population of roughly twelve probably appreciates.

Rank 16. Bottega Dani
Gourmet Pizza
A pizzeria in Cecina where the gourmet pies go through a double cook, steamed then baked, landing somewhere between pillowy and crisp in a way that takes a little explaining. The dough work is clearly the obsession here, and the raw materials are chosen with matching care. While you wait, there's an aperitivo in a garden overlooking a pool, which feels like a reasonable way to spend a Tuesday. The cellar and beer list both punch above what you'd expect.

Rank 19. Terraforte
Tuscan
A converted joinery on a sprawling Tuscan estate, Terraforte is a country-house restaurant where the menu is essentially a tour of the land around it: farm-reared meats, game, poultry, vegetables, herbs, and honey, almost all from the estate itself. You choose how many courses you want and the kitchen composes from there. In warmer months, the terrace earns its reputation without trying. The estate's own wines, including the celebrated Lupicaia, pour by the glass.
