The story

Gabbiano 3.0, Marina di Grosseto – Michelin-Starred Contemporary French Cuisine

Gabbiano 3.0: A Gourmet Bridge Between Sea and Maremma

On the Tuscan coast of Marina di Grosseto, Gabbiano 3.0 opened in March 2018 with a clear vision: to offer the best of the local territory and beyond. The restaurant’s name recalls the seagull (gabbiano) that moves between sky and sea, a fitting symbol for a kitchen that draws equally from the Mediterranean and the inland Maremma.

The Chef’s Philosophy

The chef, whose name is not given in the restaurant’s own materials, describes his cuisine as a marriage of the sea in front and the rustic Maremma behind. “An intersection with the flavors of the garden,” he says. The style is Mediterranean, but he does not shy away from French techniques when a dish calls for richer accompaniments. Aromatic herbs and delicate flavors define the cooking, making it both refined and rooted in the landscape.

The Garden as Backstage

A crucial element is the restaurant’s own garden (orto), which the chef calls “the cradle of flavors, aromas, and scents” that translate into every dish. This garden supplies the kitchen with fresh herbs and vegetables, grounding the menu in the season and the soil. It is a fundamental chapter of what the restaurant is and wants to tell through its plates.

The Tasting Experience

Guests can choose between two tasting menus designed as a journey of discovery through flavors and sensations. The chef selects products with respect for tradition, offering unique and rare pairings. A la carte options are also available, allowing diners to explore the kitchen’s range at their own pace.

Michelin Recognition

The restaurant earned a Michelin star for its high-quality cooking, a recognition that aligns with its ambition to be a destination for gourmet travelers. The setting, with outdoor seating overlooking the port, and the refined yet welcoming atmosphere make it a place where the sea and the garden meet on the plate.
