How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Bistrot
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
A Michelin-starred seafood address in Forte dei Marmi, Bistrot earns its single star through rigorous Tyrrhenian sourcing and a kitchen that handles wood-fired technique with as much discipline as it does raw ingredients. The wine cellar runs to nearly 2,000 labels, with notable depth in Champagne and Burgundy. At the €€€€ tier, it sits among the resort town's most serious dining commitments.
La Magnolia
1 Michelin star
La Magnolia holds a Michelin star inside the Hotel Byron, one of Forte dei Marmi's most established addresses. Chef Alberto Faccani's kitchen draws on both local Versilian produce and broader Italian references, producing technically precise plates with notably accomplished bread work. The chef's table requires advance planning; the room suits those who treat lunch as seriously as dinner.
Lorenzo
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred institution on the Versilian coast, Lorenzo has anchored Forte dei Marmi's seafood dining tradition for decades. The menu reads like a discipline in restraint: grand raw platters, tableside mayonnaise, and Versilia-style pasta preparations draw a global clientele season after season. With consecutive appearances in La Liste's top restaurants and OAD's Classical Europe ranking, it occupies a distinct position in the Italian seafood canon.
Lux Lucis
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Lux Lucis holds a Michelin star and sits atop the Principe Forte dei Marmi hotel, where a rooftop terrace frames views of the Versilian coast before dinner moves into a dining room fronted by an open kitchen. Chef Valentino Cassanelli weaves Emilian influences into a creative Italian menu, and a wine list organised by grape variety rather than region gives the pairing dimension unusual depth for a coastal resort table.
Sciabola
1 Michelin star
Inside the St. Mauritius hotel on Via XX Settembre, Sciabola brings chef Alessandro Ferrarini's seafood-led cooking to one of Forte dei Marmi's quieter dining rooms. The menu runs both tasting and à la carte formats, with a Mediterranean focus on local catch alongside a handful of land-based options. Service is led by an experienced maître working with a young front-of-house team.
