ArtidoroSea menu with named Tuscan products (bottarga, pecorino riserva, vinsanto, fegatini) but international touches (coconut-mojito bavarese).
Pier 26Locally caught fish, chianina and cantucci e vinsanto named. The menu is creative Mediterranean, with few classic Maremma dishes.
Ruote libereA few Tuscan touchstones (pici, schiaccia, tagliere, Muffato) and seasonal products, but Oriental salsa, seitan and Nutella cheesecake: partial local anchoring.
