...I believe that there are 2 reasons for visiting Livorno, one, the most common one, is to take a boat at the port for either Sardinia or Isola d’Elba, the other reason is to get good food.

My favourite restaurant is in the area of the port, I do not even remember if there is a name out of it! I also went once to “Cantina Senese” in Borgo dei Cappuccini 95. You can get a 3 course meal and wine for less than £10.... Read review

...: Isola Bella (Beautiful Island), Isola Madre (Mother Island) and Isola Pescatori (Fishermen Island). In the Isola Bella you can visit Palazzo Borromeo (XVII century) that lays in the center of Italian style garden. On the Isola Madre you can visit a botanic garden with flowers and trees from all over the world. The Isola dei Pescatori is famous for its narrow streets and for its restaurants where you can sample local lake fishes.
