Located on the road between Massa Marittima and the coast, this local favourite is a great place to source picnic provisions including filled panini (sandwiches) and dirt-cheap wine. It's also possible to eat merende (snacks) in the basic attached trattoria, where offerings include pasta, salads and abbuffata (€12.60), a huge platter of bruschette, salumi (cured meats), cheese and veggies.
