Locanda Lo Sgarbo

Top choice in Elba


No resort-style glamour or pretension at this popular spaghetteria – just friendly down-to-earth service and exceptionally tasty seafood pasta served in a small dining room or at one of the outdoor tables. Everything is fishy and superfresh, and the homemade dolci (desserts) are legendary. Ending with a slice of chocolate-and-chilli-pepper cake is a Capoliveri essential.
