Locanda Dei Mille — Restaurant in Orbetello

Having tried just about every restaurant in the area I must flag La Locanda dei Mille for its excellent service, location, atmosphere and above all its FOOD. Family run with a chef who is clearly talented and passionate. Visited multiple times over summer and never let us down. The location and atmosphere can be intimidating but prices are reasonable and certainly competitive. Recommended for both couples looking for romance or families and friends with a preference for fish (all truly FRESH and all good esp the tartare di gambero rosso, the antipasto di mare caldo, the orata and the zuppa di pesce) over meat (tortelli burro e salvia, al ragù, and a couple of main dishes for those who don’t want fish).. and to top it up.. they have the best GELATO one can find all freshly made on the day by the bucket load. I am writing this review in English though I am Italian because I live abroad and want international people to have a great time in my country. To all Italians — provare...

⭐ They don’t even deserve one star. This place serves finger food at the price of a full meal. I ordered pasta with shrimp for my daughter, and they gave her one single shrimp on a pile of plain pasta. My dish was fish with mixed vegetables—what I received was barely two tablespoons of food. The fish had no seasoning, smelled awful, and was poorly cooked.

My son’s meal was also shockingly small, not even enough for a 7-year-old. When we tried to speak to the staff about it, the owner was so rude and blatantly racist. Instead of apologizing or offering to fix the meals, he told us to leave the restaurant—with two small children after waiting there for more than an hour .

I would never recommend this place for any kind of meal. Terrible food, terrible service, and an even...

Il cibo è eccellente, il servizio è professionale e cordiale. Ho avuto la fortuna di partecipare a una festa di compleanno in cui, animata dal famoso chef e presentatore Riccardo, si cantavano classici italiani al karaoke e si ballava come matti. Anche Gianna, addetta al servizio, è molto gentile e attenta e serve i migliori vini da abbinare ai raffinati e squisiti menù. Ogni volta che mangio qui, il ristorante alza i suoi standard e li porta a un nuovo, squisito livello. Gianna e Riccardo hanno creato un posto molto familiare; mangiare un piatto di spaghetti alle vongole e bere un fresco bicchiere di Bianco di Pitigliano è come tornare a casa dopo un lungo viaggio. Ma meritano una visita anche la bistecca alla fiorentina, il ragù di cinghiale, il polpo in galera e i carciofi in pasta sfoglia, serviti sulla terrazza splendidamente situata sopra il porto. Il pane, le torte, i dessert, il gelato, tutto è fatto in casa. Le sardine sulla bruschetta con pomodori e avocado erano un po' aspre, ma deliziose. Dove si devono mangiare sardine, granchi, calamari, orata, se non qui? Assolutamente consigliato!!!!

Das Essen ist hervorragend, das Service zugleich professionell und freundlich familiär. Ich hatte das Glück, Teil einer Geburtstagsgesellschaft zu werden, die animiert von Spitzenkoch und Gastgeber Riccardo Karaoke zu italienischen Klassikern sang und dazu ausgelassen tanzte. Auch Gianna im Service ist so freundlich und aufmerksam, kredenzt die besten Weine passend zu den feinen, erlesenen Menüs. Jedes Mal, wenn ich hier esse, hat das Restaurant seine Ansprüche, sein Niveau wieder auf eine neue exquisite Stufe gekocht. Gianna und Riccardo haben einen sehr heimeligen Ort geschaffen, hier einen Piatto di spaghetti alle vongole zu essen und ein frisches Glas Bianco di Pitigliano zu trinken ist wie nach Hause kommen, nach einer langen Reise. Aber auch die Bistecca Fiorentina, das Wildschweinragout, der Polpo in Galera und die Artischocken im Blätterteigmantel sind es wert, der schön über dem Hafen gelegenen Terasse einen Besuch abzustatten. Das Brot, die Kuchen, Süßspeisen, das Eis, alles ist selbst gemacht. Die Sardinen auf der Bruschetta mit Tomaten und Avocado waren etwas säuerlich, aber köstlich. Wo Sardinen, Krabben; Tintenfisch, Orata essen, wenn nicht hier? Unbedingt...
