Trattoria Del Sub Dal Pirata

I really enjoyed that place and amazing views from there! I took calamari and shrimps it was quite good. Even there were quite a lot people, we got our food pretty fast!

We were able to eat here without a table reservation having arrived late into evening. The staff are efficient and extremely hardworking but lacked the welcoming charm we had encountered for most of our break in the Maremma. There is a nice outdoor terrace with limited seating and a larger indoor area. Its quite an intimate place though and we were lucky to get a table in the window. This place is all about the seafood. The platter was superb; the whole fish was accompanied by mussels, clams, scallops and giant prawns. The fish was filleted at the table and I struggled to finish the plate. Wines and beers are reasonable. We were too full to sample desserts!

We were staying in Porto Santo Stefano during the month of January and the only restaurant open for lunch in the entire area was Trattoria del Sub, located in the center of the town's port, opposite the Giglio ferry dock. From the minute you walk into the restaurant, you can't help but feel right at home in the very warm and cozy nautical-themed atmosphere. We were greeted at the door by the owner and chef, Goffredo, a real character reminiscent of the pirate days of old. Due to the fact it was off-season, Goffredo was also waiting on and clearing tables, which even for a younger person, (which he isn't) requires a lot of effort and attention. Amazingly, considering quite a few tables were occupied during the lunch hour, Goffredo was not only able to keep the service brisk, but was also able to cook up an absolutely amazing three-course meal of local seafood specialities. We highly recommend his fried seafood skewer appetizer, the spaghetti alle vongole and the grilled swordfish, the latter of which, even though previously frozen, tasted as fresh as ever. Also, highly recommend the local house wine, a delightfully crisp and refreshing Vermentino Toscano, which he buys from a local winery just up the coast. We purchased a case on the way out of town. To top things off, Goffredo treats you to his homemade limoncello and berry grappas. We were so impressed with the quality of the food, Goffredo's friendly service and great stories, we went back the next day.

Ci vado da più di 20 anni ed è sempre lo stesso! Pirate è uno chef eccezionale e consiglio vivamente tutti gli antipasti, soprattutto gamberi fritti in salsa. i primi piatti sono eccellenti, pistacchio e carbonara pere sono stati i migliori!

Grande posto, si mangia da Dio. il vero pirata dell'Argentario vi stupirà con la migliore festa delle papille gustative. in 36 anni Non sono mai stato così di buon gusto... per dire poco speciale. Grande pirata. economico e buono. come dicono in rome, se magna pe’ magnä!
