Peck Forte dei Marmi Pesce Baracca
Viale Franceschi, 2
ph. +39 0584 1716337
A restaurant with three souls. Pesce Baracca is not only a restaurant a few steps from the beautiful beaches of Forte dei Marmi but also a fishmonger's and street food. The menu is dictated by the sea and proposes simple, immediate, informal but also attentive to the tradition of classic cuisine. There are first courses prepared with fresh home-made pasta, the ever-present spaghetti allo scoglio prepared with the classic family recipe, handed down from generation to generation since the opening of the first restaurant in 1964. The restaurant's special feature is certainly the possibility of choosing fish and shellfish directly from the fishmonger's counter. There are many different ready-made dishes of the day.

Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 9B
ph. +39 0584 89496
Dai Parmigiani tells the story of the Manfrini family who moved from Reggio Emilia to Forte dei Marmi in 1952, bringing with them a selection of their culinary specialities. It is a perfect gourmet pit stop to purchase cheeses, cold cuts, fresh pasta, preserves and wines, but also for a quick meal, refined and customised according to the tastes and preferences of Italian and foreign customers. The savoury pies are famous, but the Chianina roast beef is not to be missed either. Dishes change according to the season and range from soups, meatballs, stuffed squid, tordelli versiliesi, and stuffed turkey to more exclusive and sought-after products such as caviar and truffles.
