Corrupt politicians, appalling national TV and a never-ending economic crisis. So what was I doing in Italy again?

Grazie a dio, there are still a few reasons which confirm that I wasn't totally meshugga when moving from clockwork nation to a Southern European bureaucratic hell: beach side lunches are one of them (and on a less mundane level public schools and a healthcare system Obama can only dream of).

A MAP FOR COCKTAILS, SEAFOOD AND SUNSET VIEWS ON THE TUSCAN SHORE
As south as it gets in Tuscany. One step to the left and you're in Lazio and on your way to Rome. But Rosso e Vino's food, beach bar and deckchairs are way too nice to consider a trip to the eternal city. With the luxury lodge tents at Camp Capalbio next door, this is a great option for a beach side eat and sleep.

La Pineta is a famous but rather surprising Michelin star option on Tuscany's coast, which consists of a beach shack turned gourmet temple. Only a Tuscan fisherman like Luciano Zazzeri could have come up with anything like it. One of the few beach side restaurants in Tuscany to stay open through winter too (mostly on weekends, best call beforehand).
