Ristorante Lorenzo is the grand dame of Forte dei Marmi dining – white-tableclothed elegance and polished service set the tone for an evening of quiet glamour. The plating is exquisite, the flavours are impeccable – crudo so fresh it tastes of the Tyrrhenian, pastas dressed simply but perfectly, and a cellar stacked with Tuscan vintages that locals guard like secrets. The crowd is as polished as the plates: elegant, sun-kissed regulars and a scattering of international names who slip in without fanfare. There are no theatrics, just flawless cooking, a room that glows in candlelight, and a sense that everyone present is exactly where they want to be.
