In Livorno, La Pineta is a former fishing shack turned into a gorgeous waterfront restaurant, run by Luciano Zazzeri who set off his culinary path as a fisherman. The chef’s rich knowledge of the protein is key to the restaurant’s quality of dishes, which are prepared with simplicity and finesse, with olive oil, lemon and salt, and cooked to perfection – deserving of the restaurant’s Michelin star. The restaurant has maintained its rustic beach hut feel, spruced up with elegant interiors and an impressive wine list of the region’s finest.
