The kitchen

Good produce, little rhetoric.

The Astragalo Bistrot menu starts from the catch and from Tyrrhenian produce: raw fish, sushi, mussels, spaghettoni with clams and bottarga, amberjack fillet, fried fish.

Two gestures live side by side in the kitchen: the fresh hand of raw fish and the patient cooking of slow-cooked pork fillet. To finish, cuttlefish ink crumble, cheesecake and the Choco ball.

The terraces

Four ways to look at the sea.

The terraces step down towards the bay: you can dine close to the water, under the lanterns, or higher up, where the view opens across Castiglioncello.

When the evening turns cold, the central hall and the summer garden take their place. The service stays the same: slow pace, full glasses, no hurry.

  • Central hall for winter evenings

  • Aperitivo at the piano bar

Aperitivo

The hour when the bay lights up.

Before dinner the terraces fill with cocktails and small plates. It is the moment when the Quercetano changes colour and the piano bar starts to play.

For groups, long tables and private dinners, message us on WhatsApp: we will arrange the space with you.
