This is a small Family maintained typical italian Bagni. It provides all you need for a perfect…read morebeach holiday. The service is friendly, you can get places on the Beach or on the Terrazza. The beach is fine sand and for children a small swimming area is available. You can also get a cabin or only a small locker for your value goods. The small but good restaurant and bar is open from 8am to 8pm and provides daily different lunches from 5 to 15 €. Coffee is cheap as always in real italien bars, so a cappuccino is about 1,30€. The scenery in this beautiful bay is worth a visit when you are around. But you have to climb down steep stairs. I come to this place for years now, even when I speak no Italian and the family speaks only Italian ;-)

Good service and food. Got that good calamari and insalata. The place was open for the siesta.read more

When we stayed in Castiglioncello over the summer several years ago, we made it a point to eat at…read moreGinori. The best lasagna and tiramisu I've ever had (eating IN ITALY didn't hurt either). Lasagna is considered an appetizer so portions aren't ridiculously huge. Also located on the corner of a small town square, and sitting at the bottom of a uninhabited castle, gives this dining experience a special feel.

Not sure why the other review was positive and yet only a single star. This is one of the better…read moreplaces to eat in the area. Family run with a large menu and fresh fish selection (although that runs a bit expensive). Quite good pizza, excellent pasta vongole con pomodoro. Decent mixed fish grill. House wine is bottled and quite good, and the selection of other wine is nice although untested. Almost always full of locals as well as tourists.

The food, the place everything is perfect here: i really have a crush for this restaurant. Only 1…read morehour and half from Florence and half an hour from Pisa, you are totally immersed in a different world here. The windows open on the sea, on a nice cove with beautiful pines: this place is a small piece of paradise. And this is the perfect place to have lunch after a day at the beach or before catching a plane in Pisa. The food was excellent: for appetizer we had a calamari salad - calamari were served hot while the delicious salad, including spinach, was cold - which was amazing: i really liked the spinach and calamari together. Then I had the pasta alla vonghole which were delicately spicy and really delicious (and believe me I have developed an obsession for this dish for years now). My friend had some other type of pasta with seafood which were also excellent and a bit spicy: the sauce was completely different from mine (they know how to cook here!) but as delicious. So it will come as no surprise: I highly recommend. I cannot wait to take my car and go back there to escape the city for a day!

Feet in the water. Good cooking but just a little overpriced... But it's Castiglioncello!read more

Terrible. It is common in Italy to find restaurants that don't look like much but then have…read moreterrific food. Unfortunately this place doesn't look like much and also has food to match. The poster for commercial ice cream sticks should have alerted us. The kids menu looked like it might have potential with breaded veal on offer. Unfortunately these were inedible. The fries were clearly not home made as well. My pasta with urchin which sounded good was completely tasteless and over oiled with low quality oil. I am still getting over this the following morning. The fish cooked in a a package (al cartoccio) was edible but again way over oiled and with the same lousy oil. Avoid.

It was a nice place, it was a delicious place, it was a quiet place. I have no complaints to the…read moreservice. It was a rather magical experience. We want to come back.
