Seafood Cuisine in Follonica: Fresh Catch and Slow Food Presidia
The gastronomic offering at Maso is driven by the passion and vision of Chef Leonardo Masini, a true native of Maremma with deep expertise in working with top-quality fish.

Grand Raw Seafood Platters: Selections of the daily catch, tartares, and carpaccios that enhance the purity and fragrance of the sea of Follonica.
Fresh Pasta First Courses: Homemade pasta paired with shellfish, seafood, and rich, flavorful sauces.
Reinterpreted Classics: From light, crispy fried seafood to grilled or oven-baked main courses.
Focus on Slow Food Presidia: Showcasing artisanal excellence and local products from the Maremma Grossetana area.
