Fabulous fresh seafood with style on the beach

Directions: On the beach in Marina di Campo

For our last lunch on Elba I had my heart set on eating a fine meal right on the beach. I found what I was looking for in Ristorante La Lucciola. As you enter, you come upon a giant tank filled with the freshest of lobsters, crabs, langostinos and all sorts of sea creatures. The restaurant is open-air and we were seated right by the sea. We started by sharing a cold seafood salad which was a simply marinated combination of calamari, polpe, and gamberi. The freshness of the seafood shined in the simple but elegant preparation. Then I had a risotto di frutta di mare--perfectly done risotto with a variety of shellfish. My husband had a lasagnette verdue which was an extremely light concoction. With two glasses of the house white (which was a wonderful Ceretto Lange--actually a Piedmontese white, not local!) the bill came to €40.

Our only regret was that we weren't able to come back another time for dinner to try some of the fabulous looking lobster and crab.
