Dinner atArgentario:
Simplicity and Flavor Where Sea Meets Tradition

End the day with a nice dinner at theArgentario is a must, and all it takes are a few fresh ingredients like lampatelle, limpets, and granitole for a simple yet delicious pasta dish.

Ending the day with a good dinner is a must, and all it takes is a few simple ingredients to do it right. On long days at the beach, it’s fun to hunt among the rocks for a few rockfish or limpets and some sea urchins—just enough for a pasta dish, nothing more. 

To set the scene: background music, a few candles to create ambiance and light up the terrace, and a gentle sea breeze —then it’s time for al dente spaghettone, lampatelle, granitole, and a few cherry tomatoes to add a splash of color to the plate. To accompany it, a tall tumbler filled with plenty of ice, a sprig of rosemary, one of the local gins, and the right tonic —a different approach to a dinner with the true flavor of theArgentario.
