Il Romito, Seafood restaurant and pizzeria in Livorno, Italy.
Il Romito is a restaurant and pizzeria in Livorno, set close to the seafront and serving both local seafood dishes and pizza. The kitchen draws on house recipes passed down over decades, with fish available throughout the year and pizza offered on selected evenings.
The restaurant opened in 1972 and over time developed its own version of cacciucco, the traditional Livornese fish stew, based on a family recipe. This version differs from the classic preparation through a specific choice of ingredients and a cooking method refined in the house kitchen.
Il Romito sits along the coast, and many guests come here to experience the kind of seafood cooking that has long been part of everyday life in Livorno. The setting and the menu both feel more like a family table than a formal dining room.
Pizza is served only on selected evenings, mainly weekends and some autumn and winter nights, while seafood dishes are on the menu all year. A reservation is a good idea, especially on weekends, since the place sits near the coast and tends to fill up.
The pizza dough goes through an extended maturation before baking, which gives it a texture different from a standard preparation. The restaurant also traditionally serves a shared plate of five different fish appetizers before the main course, a detail that sets the meal apart from the first bite.
