Il Pellicano

Chef Michelino Gioia from Campania, now a Tuscan by adoption, is in charge of fine dining at the famous resort Il Pellicano, whose terrace overlooking the sea, enhanced by the scent of rosemary in the air, makes it one of the most romantic addresses in Italy. Michelino, thanks to a good technique, is highly skilled in creating different textures in the same dish while retaining the precise flavours of the excellent ingredients used, both land and sea (excellent, for example, the cooking of the pezzogna, which remains soft, accompanied by small quenelles of pappa al pomodoro in a creamy version, mussels and lovage). His work is - finally - enhanced by a very extensive wine list and, above all, by the friendly and professional service offered by the numerous staff.
