Trattoria Lo Sfizio da leo — Restaurant in Monte Argentario

Bellissimo! The food, the location and the atmosphere are simply brilliant for lunch. I had the best ravioli I have ever had, and my friends had the freshest seafood I had ever seen. Based in Porto San Stefano, it has some of the best views of the bay on offer around the town. Lunchtime seems to be the best time to eat here (i.e. after 1:30pm) because all the traffic stops in this little town for a siesta. The prices for the food are generally very reasonable, usually good value for the quality.

The only real downside was the poor service from one of the staff, who could not speak English, but seemed to struggle with some Italian phrases too. However the manager was extremely fluent in English, generally likable and very helpful in decoding the menu in English. In addition, he gave us about 200ml of...

Very traditional restaurant with excelent food.

This place is the place we were looking in our whole trip in Italy. A traditional Italian seafood restaurant. Excelent seafood pasta and the best i had so far. The waiters were really friendly. We promiced to get a table after 30 minutes and we got it when we came back!

The reason that i did not give 5 stars is about the price. Was a bit tricky when we got a starter with 6 tasting fish plates were it was saying 16euros in the menu When we paied it was 16e per person. It was actually saying it somewhere down in the corner but we can all understand that it is a kind of trick. It should be more clear. 32euros for a starter is too expensive when the main courses costed 12 euros each. You have to work on it.

Thank you though. Nice...

We had an amazing evening here! The service is incredible, and our waiter very patiently answered all our questions, made recommendations, and generally made our night. The food was good and the prices were also decent, and the ambiance is wonderful- we had a table with a window overlooking the sea!

For appetizers, we ordered the seafood salad, which was tasty. For entrees, we got the seafood gnocchi (a fun take on spaghetti vongole), which was incredible, and the swordfish in tomato sauce, which was good (the fish itself not that amazing, but the sauce was great).

For dessert we had the panna cotta, which wasn't that great and drenched in a chocolate syrup. The table next to us got creme brulee, which came on fire!! Overall, super nice vibe...
