On the extreme and evocative tip of the Gulf of Baratti, nestled in the landscape between water and promontory, stands the Canessa Restaurant, since 1927.
Baratti
is the only settlement built on the sea by the Etruscan civilisation and is dominated by the promontory on whose summit stands the medieval village of Populonia with its majestic castle.
It is a seaside resort with about 2 km of beach and 300 m of rocks, rich in history and, with its Archaeological Park, gives every glimpse an indisputable value of cultural interest.
Easily reached by car following the signs for 'Baratti and Populonia' from Viale della Principessa.
Nearby: Poggio all'Agnello. A resort with 200 flats that accommodates groups and families and from which a bicycle and pedestrian path leads directly to the Gulf.
The restaurant offers cuisine that is faithful to traditional fish products, seasonality and the dedication of the kitchen staff led by chef Valentina, who focus on a colourful, simple, healthy and succulent menu.
