Grio d’Italia 2011 

Livorno, Italy - Stage 4 of Giro d'Italia 2011

The Riders - Giro d'Italia 2011, Stage 3 - Livorno, Italia

 Mediterráneo Lounge-Bar & Ristorante -Scali del Ponte di Marmo, 14, 57123 Livorno, Italy Tel.: +39 0586 829799. 
Andrea gave me access to the restaurant when it was closed to take some photos. A rare glimpse of Mediterráneo when it is quiet & nobody is there. For me, I was able to photograph perhaps not your typical photos but how I see, dream & discover this world lived everyday. A restaurateur's life is not an easy one no matter where you live.

Behind the large wooden doors that face the street is the entrance door to the restaurant. It is modern & etched with their 'M' logo both striking & inviting.

The bar tells a story of the sea & hosts eclectic art. There is a groove that fits well with the warmth of the establishmet. As expected (you are in Tuscany) there is a nice wine selection & though you might be far from New York. I have heard The Long Island Iced Tea made there are fantastic. I have yet to try but I am sure I will ;).

This is one of my favorite photos. WHY? This is the dining area. Andrea offered to turn the chairs but I loved this in it's natural state that we rarely get to see. Each chair representing a person or family member soon to be sharing a meal prepared by his mom & wine glasses to be toasted. The rustic building & the contemporary eclectic decor is the mix that Italians with style seem to master.
