Where to eat: the 10 best restaurants on the Island of Elba 🍴

Elba offers a wide choice of restaurants for all tastes. In fact, we move from the typical seafood cuisine, the traditional way Elban cuisine, without neglecting the innovative, refined and revisited kitchens. There are many cases in which the Tuscan tradition merges with the Ligurian one, giving life to truly exquisite dishes!
Exploring the restaurants of the Island of Elba means immersing yourself in a variety of culinary experiences that celebrate local products and fresh fish, but not only that.

Here's mine personal selection of the best restaurants on the Island of Elba, evaluated from different points of view:

Positioned directly on the Procchio beach, offers excellent fish cuisine (with Neapolitan references) and a breathtaking sunset! The wine list and Neapolitan pizza are also good. Also recommended for a lunch on the beach, the menu also offers fresh dishes and excellent seafood appetizers.
Price range: medium

Overlooking the marina Marina di Campo, entering this restaurant you will feel like you are boarding a splendid wooden boat. Very fresh raw materials. I particularly recommend the Elba lobster, masterfully cooked. The wine list is also excellent. Mimmo, the owner, will entertain you with the story of the dishes and maybe even some Elban anecdotes 😉
Price range: high

Just 1km outside the town of Marina di Campo, the restaurant offers a beautiful porticoed garden in which to dine and two internal rooms for when the weather is cooler. High quality raw materials. Refined and never banal combinations, unique and delicious flavours.

At the entrance to the town of Pomonte you will find this family-run Hotel and Restaurant located in one of the most authentic areas of the island. Tradition within tradition. Delicious fish dishes, tagliolini al tramaglio are their specialty and... they are truly out of this world!
Giorgio and Simona, the owners, will welcome you with a smile. Ask for a table on the terrace to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the town, admire the sky at sunset and the subsequent starry ✨

This refined inn is located in the heart of Marciana Alta. Very suggestive location, not the classic beach restaurant, but a real gem! Immersed in the oldest and highest village on the island, it blends flavors of Tuscan and Ligurian cuisine: the result is a perfect combination and truly unique dishes!
Book days and days in advance asking for a good table on the terrace with an excellent view 😉

In the heart of the village of San Piero in Campo, with an excellent view of the Marina di Campo plain below.
Rustic and unpretentious place that serves excellent Tuscan cuisine, both meat and fish. I absolutely recommend the pappardelle with wild boar, really excellent! The wine list is also good. In high season, book a few days in advance because the restaurant is really very popular.

Directly on the little one Scaglieri beach, close to the most famous Biodola. Excellent fish dishes, in particular Elba-style octopus, served directly on the terrace on the beach. Very romantic location for a candlelit dinner lulled by the sound of the sea.
Price range: medium

Very restaurant particular and refined, starting from its position: in fact it stands nestled in the very small Forno beach, close to the most famous Biodola, in the municipality of Portoferraio. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, with the sun diving into the sea right in front of you.
The menu offers great classics revisited in a modern and sophisticated way for a truly unique and high-level experience. Attentive staff and quality service.

Located on a small and romantic terrace Capoliveri, enjoys a truly fascinating panoramic view.
Excellent local cuisine of both sea and land. Book in advance, the terrace is small and seats are limited, but that's the beauty of it!
