Food Scene
It is an old wooden cabana, now refurbished, with an enormous fire side, and typical local food . . . the price range is fair, as you may have a whole meal for about 30 euros. Not always open, reservation is advised. Not easy to find as it is just in the middle of the country and no indications. Give it a trial, you won't be disappointed

Stunning location, just on the lagoon the outside, perfect for both a family or a romantic dinner, with an old industrial looking the inside.
Simple but good dinner, as they are the Fishermen of Orbetello Lagoon. Plastic dishes and glasses, take it or leave it, but absolutely worth at least for the location, and the typical preparations you will not find elsewhere.

All in all, it has been in the last few years our favorite place where to go to have a dinner.
Paola, the receptionist and daughter of the cook, it is a welcoming smiling person. All vegetables served are self produced, like the olive oil, we love alla salads, grilled vegetables, zucchine marinate, parmigiana di melanzane. A specialty is the chicken, tender and juicy but with fatless and crunchy skin. Also Pici or Spaghettini all'Aglione (garlic flavor) are a must. Prices are b/w 25 and 30 and if you tell Paola you're our guest you get a fair discount.
