The Livorno Now Gourmet Club

The Livorno Now Gourmet Club: Karen, Carol, Sarah, LoriThe Livorno Now Gourmet Club: Karen, Carol, Sarah, LoriSeeking out good food at the right price

This is the Livorno Now Gourmet Club. We are a group of four friends with a common love of food! Eating out is a favourite pastime of ours, and Livorno has plenty of great restaurants. Some are fashionable and well-known, while others are waiting to be discovered.

We aim to try out a local Livorno restaurant every month, keeping within a budget of 25 euros per person. Over the coming months we will try to explore a range of restaurants, and will report back here on each one.

Trattoria Da Paco - Livorno Now Gourmet Club review


Simple, welcoming decor, Da PacoSimple, welcoming decor, Da PacoPaco and his father (‘ir su Babbo’ it says on the sign outside!) run this busy restaurant - Trattoria da Paco -  located close to the Accademia Navale and the coast road, about 3km from the centre of Livorno.
It was a Thursday night and the restaurant’s two dining areas were busy with a generally young crowd. We managed to persuade the waitress to give us a table in the inner room which we liked more than the area at the front of the restaurant.. it was cosier, and more welcoming, though still buzzing with chat and activity.
