La Botte Gaia

The restaurant La Botte Gaia has no beach view nor a garden view. It is located in the city and has a kind of huge roofed terrace. The welcoming was a bit posh but it seems to belong to this restaurant as they give it a kind of classy touch.
Prices for the dishes are therefore higher as usual.
The service at the table was very professional, nice and friendly. The food we have ordered was well prepared and nicely presented. However the presentation of the risotto was a bit strange with the sauce going all around on top. It didn't hit my taste as it was a bit bland. The main courses were however nice and tasty.
The restaurant is furthermore pet friendly and we have received a table a bit a part so that we wouldn't disturb anyone although our dog is normally calm and relaxed. All good.
In conclusion, the restaurant is not on the seaside but worth visit.

A wonderful culinary experience in addition to being a beautiful, romantic place to dine. The seafood variety and creativity was on-point and the service was excellent. There is a larger parking lot nearby - so you don't have to struggle searching for it in Porto Azzurro, because it is an issue - in addition to being close to plenty of other sites.

What a nice find in Porto Azzuro! We did not expect such elevated service and this was definitely the nicest meal we had in the town. This is a higher end restaurant with service to match. We enjoyed all of our dishes but the experience was what really made our dinner stand out.

Really nice dishes, and super nice service. Waiters are quick and observant. The food are truly gourmet, and not as all other turist-restaurants in town. Innovative dishes, and really top quality food used for the dishes.

I was there last week, the food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. You can find typical foods revisited in an excellent way. I also had my pet with me and not only pets are allowed but they also engage in finding the best table for you to enjoy your dinner while keeping the soft, elegant atmosphere of the restaurant. It's also good value for money, I strongly recommend it

Excellent service, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and of course, extremely fresh seafood. The chef prepares dishes simply, elegantly and filled with taste. A high recommendation while visiting Porto Azzurro in Elba.

Top experience!
I realize that this restaurant has already an extremely big amount of great reviews, but I'd still like to mention our satisfaction as well.
As starters, we took oysters and a raw seafood platter. The crudités were presented in a very simple manner, giving one a chance to flavour them as one likes. (Which is right, only in a simple way crudités can show their real flavour)
The pastas and main dishes were excellent as well. The flavours were more adventurous (cacao pasta combined with sea urchin, and codfish combined with truffle), but suited very well. Also compliments for the fresh truffle: it had a lot of flavour for a black truffle (we've had occasions in other restaurants where the truffle had almost no flavour).
A great original dessert finished our dinner. We had a try of the fig pastry with ice-cream, sabaglione and the pistachio tiramisu. Again all 3 very good.
We were also very satisfied with the recommended local wines.
And above all, big thumbs up for the service! Only the other night, we were at another nice dinner, but their service left a bitter taste, influencing the overall experience. Instead, here we had waiters that knew what they were serving, were able to make professional recommendations and served us in a polite tone and with a smile. We will definitely come back for more!!

For me the best food on the island, id recommend to focus on sea food - oysters were great. Good selection of wine and very friendly staff.

Great food, service and atmosphere! All fresh and homemade! Should reserve a table in advance!

A great place to have a romantic dinner. The serving is wonderful and the food as well. Wouldn't miss this place on Elba!

Very good restaurant with classy touch. Not on the seaside but worth visit for food quality

Simply the best restaurant in Porto Azzuro.

Nothing more than.. perfect. Great food and service.
