Osteria Libertaria

Elba


Fish drives the menu of this traditional osteria (casual tavern) – no wonder, as the boats that land it are moored right outside. Traditional dishes such as fried calamari or tonno in crosta di pistacchi (pistachio-encrusted tuna fillet) are superfresh and very tasty. Dine at one of two tile-topped tables on the traffic-noisy street or on the back-alley terrace.
