    Always good to stumble on a winner. No, it's not a Michelin Star restaurant, but the service and the food earns my 5th star! Stefano, the owner and "chief marketing" officer, as he calls himself , was so friendly and accommodating to our rather large party of 15. La Bufala is a tiny restaurant in the central market area of Livorno. The Pasta Carbonara was really good. Prepared the proper way without the use of heavy creams, blocks of butter, and definitely without the stupid peas that so many places in the U.S. serves it up with. The seafood in the Spaghetti Mare was fresh and the pasta was overall delicious. The Pizza? Ohh the pizza was awesome, but what do you expect when the owner himself is from Naples. We ended up ordering a few more plates of Carbonara and a couple more Pizzas. Yes, this place is in a tourist area, but Stefano's place, is definitely not cooking up tourist food. La Bufala serves up some of the best food not only in Livorno, but Florence as well.

    If I could give it more stars I would! We wanted to sample the local seafood and pasta and we had…read moresome of the best we've ever tasted. We had tomato and shrimp on crostini, it was so perfectly flavored the tomato and shrimp were the star! The salmon with crostini was another star! We also had Spaghetti with Clams and Spaghetti with a seafood tomato with cream sauce. Both were decadent!! The name translates to Sea Tavern and it delivers, feels like you are in a tall ship stateroom for your meal. Several tables with their own intimate areas. The service was great, while we speak minimal Italian, we got by and had a great experience Highly recommend

    My wife and I went to Pisa for a quick visit. After seeing nothing that looked good, we spotted…read moreLivorno nearby. Good seafood is always found by the sea. A quick yelp search and we found Osteria del Mare. The restaurant is small and quaint. The service is friendly and relatively quick. Some English spoken. We managed between our weak Italian and their weak English and good Spanish. It looked like every table had the mixed seafood salad as an appetizer. Check. Giant bowl of mussels, clams, langostines, and oysters. Just get it. The Shrimp gnocchi were awesome. Homemade gnocchi that were creamy with beautiful garlicy cream sauce and super fresh shrimp. The seafood stew was the show stopper though. I was expecting a whimsy bowl of soup. Instead I got no less than 3-4 lbs of super fresh mixed seafood in a spicy tomato based broth. I looked at the waiter and asked if he left anything in the ocean. He didn't speak English but laughed and handed me a bib. Haha! There may be better food in Livorno, but this town was one and done for us. In the end it was one of the best meals of our vacation.
