The story
Along the pine-shaded promenade of Forte dei Marmi, on viale A. Morin, Lux Lucis stands as a quiet emblem of Italian contemporary cooking. The restaurant earned its first Michelin star in 2026, a recognition of high-quality cooking that suits its serene setting.
The dining room balances modern comfort with the restraint expected of a starred address: air conditioning softens the summer heat, and outdoor seating lets guests sit beneath the Versilian sky. A parking lot spares visitors the hunt for a spot in a town where beach clubs and designer boutiques crowd the streets.
The wine list is notably interesting, chosen to complement the kitchen’s precise work. The cuisine is Italian contemporary, rooted in local ingredients but shaped with clarity and intention. Without a menu to cite, one expects dishes that speak of the coast – crudo, perhaps, or pastas that taste of the sea – executed with the quiet confidence that earned the star.
