places to eat

We tend to go to Grosseto in the evening and eat in one of the restaurants around Piazza il Sale, or one of the side streets leading down to Piazza il Sale from the Duomo, there's quite a selection for every taste and budget. The kids favourite is 'Pickeat' pizzeria or 'Irish Soul Pub' which sometimes has live music during the summer. My favourites are Al Numero 9, via degli Aldobrandeschi and Piccolino Osteria in via San Martino. Our go to Pizzerias for take out pizza are either Pickeat or Pizzeria da Edoardo in via Brigate Partigiane.

Close to home is Trattoria Le Mandorlaie which serves traditional food from the area, the antipasto misto is enormous with lots of different things and the meat main courses are really good too. They also have a very well chosen selection of wines. To top it off, it's not expensive either!

Outside of Grosseto, in the summer, we love going to Castiglione della Pescaia for an evenings wandering about, evening meal at any one of the restaurants that has space and ice cream. The kids love Marina di Grosseto as there's a Luna Park in the summer evenings and various restaurants and pizzerias. If you want the whole Italian food experience, then there's Gli Attortellati, strada provinciale 40, Trappola 39, Grosseto. You must book beforehand and dinner starts after 19.30 and is a fixed menu which is set by the first person to book for that evening! About €25 without wine a head and so much food but spread out over a few hours.
