La Perla del Mare

Here, chef Deborah Corsi’s never-ending will to experiment with the classic dishes of her region results in colourful, creative dishes that satisfy both sight and taste. The chef serves extraordinary dishes, dominated by the best seafood of the surrounding sea: from octopus gnocchi to sambuca-marinated anchovies. Meat-lovers are also spoiled here, with dishes like wild boar or Cinta Senese (local pig breed) pork, always served with local seasonal vegetables.

By cooking each dish upon request, chef Deborah Corsi aims to emphasize the seasonality of local produce. In addition to drawing inspiration from her region's culinary traditions, she respects the changing availability of the ingredients. The menu is varied and features a wide variety of local seafood from the nearby sea. Specialties include vacuum cooked octopus fried in tempura with sunflower seeds on celeriac mousse, and “Spaghetti alla Mareppia”, spaghetti sauteed in an emulsion of mussels, clams and blended oysters, with raw amberjack (a particularly fine and tasty bluefish) on top. The wine list contains more than 200 labels, including excellent white and red wines from Val di Cornia and Tuscany. As well as labels from the rest of Italy, and international ones, carefully selected by the restaurant’s sommelier. At Perla del Mare, there is no shortage of champagne and sparkling wines either, so every dish and event will be perfectly paired with the right drinks.

Interesting sights in the area include several medieval villages, such as Suvereto, Campiglia Marittima, Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci and Sassetta. These picturesque spots offer breathtaking glimpses of old palaces, ruins, churches, and castles. What’s more, in Venturina there are natural hot springs, called “Calidario”. Here you have the opportunity to enjoy a natural spa in the beautiful surroundings of the San Vincenzo region.
