We have decided to offer you this page dedicated to our restaurant to let you know about some of the dishes prepared and presented by chef Carlo Mancusi.

Our restaurant is situated on the hotel's terrace, and from this enviable position, while you enjoy our fish dishes prepared with locally caught fish seasoned with local herbs such as catmint, mint, and wild fennel, you can admire a fantastic panorama and a sunset that is truly romantic (see our webcam).

Our chef will be pleased to advise you and satisfy your requests, from fish to meat dishes.

The menu is mainly prepared with local produce, such as the "Antipasto fantasia" starters, 11 types of starter varying from typical Elban specialities like marinaded picarel, fresh anchovies in lemon - home-made according to age old recipes - to those invented by our chef such as Hawaiian style tuna, or octopus and cuttlefish carpaccio.


After a round of starters like this, you can't not try our "Ravioli della Dama" (handmade ravioli with a fish filling, topped with a smooth sauce that only our chef knows how to make) as an introduction to the fillet of scorpionfish decorated with a covering of courgette slices and accompanied by the renowned charcoal grilled potatoes seasoned with local herbs. What could make a more perfect end to a meal than the hazelnut cantuccini biscuits and the "Schiaccia briaca riese" a kind of sweet focaccia, prepared by the cook following the traditional recipes of the Elban housewives, and a glass of good Aleatico wine ... and these are only a few of the dishes we have to offer.


You can try our home-made fresh pasta, such as the "Tagliatelle all'Oleandro", pappardelle with wild boar, pirate's tagliolini, 3 flavour ravioli, the cacciucco (a traditional fish stew), mixed deep-fried seafood, and the local fish, such as our wide variety of sea breams - obviously, since we only use fresh fish, availability and range depend on the season and sea conditions - and don't forget the desserts, (cakes, crème brûlée, panna cotta, and many more) these too are home-made from scratch, using the traditional ingredients, so as to offer our guests the tastes and flavours of yesteryear.

All you have to do now is come to visit us. If you are thinking anyone can claim their food is good but when it comes down to it reality doesn't coincide with the claims, then read the comments the clients of our hotel and restaurant have said about us.


In conclusion, I would like to personally thank the owners, Ottavio and Caterina, who give me so much freedom and trust.


We await your visit, so we can offer you a delicious evening and delight you with our food ....

... see you soon.

The chef, Carlo Mancusi
