From the plain to the bay in eighty-one minutes.

Pistoia sits on a plain that never shows you the sea. 105.8 km, eighty-one minutes of A11 and Fi-Pi-Li, and the horizon is water.

From Pistoia

Out of the plain, into the bay.

The A11 towards Pisa, then the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno and the Variante Aurelia south: 105.8 km and 81 minutes, with the Castiglioncello exit at the end.

You come down for the evening or for the day, and the reward is a table outside with the water in front of it, in a bay that closes around the terraces.

The table

A sea dinner, eighty-one minutes away.

The menu is fish from beginning to end: raw fish, mussels, spaghettoni with clams and bottarga, cuttlefish crumble, amberjack, low-temperature pork fillet, fried fish and home-made desserts.

The kitchen and the club are in the same building, so the evening does not need a second address: you eat, you stay, and the car stays where it is.
