The story
Sementis in Pietrasanta serves plant-based Italian cuisine centered on conscious nourishment. Masha and Luca opened these doors in twenty sixteen after touring the country for a space that could host their vision. Their kitchen prepares seasonal vegetables and locally sourced organic produce to craft dishes that never derive from suffering. The menu deliberately excludes animal derivatives while maintaining the structural integrity of regional classics like risotto and handmade pasta.
The kitchen draws heavily from Tuscan traditions while weaving in techniques encountered during travels abroad. Guests encounter earthy legume stews, charred cauliflower preparations, and house baked breads that anchor each meal. Desserts rely on almond flour and seasonal fruit rather than dairy, offering lighter finishes to substantial main courses. A curated wine list complements the vegan Italian cooking by highlighting crisp whites and light reds that cut through the natural richness of roasted grains and fermented beans.
Three interior dining rooms flow directly into a narrow pedestrian street terrace and a hidden herb garden lit by low hanging candles. Design choices favor reclaimed materials throughout, including tabletops crafted from weathered ship planks and pendant lights woven from recycled plastic bottles. This commitment to material reuse mirrors the restaurant’s recent four radish designation from the We’re Smart Green Guide. Diners who arrive for allergy friendly accommodations or extended evening meals consistently note how the restored timber beams and potted rosemary create an intimate backdrop for quiet conversation.
