Some places feel suspended in time. Places where the sea is not just a landscape, but an invitation to slow down, breathe, and let go. La Dogana in Capalbio is one of these. More than just a beach club, it’s a true experience. A small oasis of informal elegance, where everything – from the décor to the aromas wafting from the kitchen – is designed to make you feel transported, far from the noise of everyday life.
Overlooking one of the most scenic stretches of the Tuscan coast, La Dogana has built a strong identity, capable of meeting every need without ever losing its soul. Here, the seaside can be experienced in a thousand different ways: with a gourmet picnic basket to enjoy freely, beachside service directly under your umbrella, or by sitting down to a meal guided by a gastronomic offering that never ceases to surprise.
At the heart of the experience is the restaurant, with its dual soul and two complementary styles. On one side, there’s the creative cuisine of Chef Ricardo Takamitsu, who dares, experiments, and plays with contrasts to tell the story of the land in a fresh and innovative way. On the other, Chef Luca Morroto offers a refined yet more traditionally rooted approach, elevating top-quality ingredients with elegance and respect.
What makes the experience even more enjoyable is the outstanding front-of-house team – true ambassadors of La Dogana’s laid-back yet refined atmosphere. With a service style that’s both highly professional and warmly friendly, they make every guest feel completely at ease. It’s a thoughtful and attentive approach, never intrusive, and perfectly in tune with the unique spirit of the venue.
Tying it all together is the expert touch of Enoteca La Torre, a leading name in Italian hospitality. Their extensive experience in fine dining and luxury service ensures every aspect is curated with skill and finesse. From the dishes to the service, from the welcome to the layout, their know-how is a true added value that guarantees quality throughout.
La Dogana is not just a restaurant, and not just a beach club: it’s a place where taste meets well-being, where every detail – from the menu to the atmosphere – tells a clear story of hospitality built on authenticity and care. Whether you come for a seaside lunch, a sunset dinner, or a full day of total relaxation, La Dogana welcomes you in true Maremma style: with elegance, warmth, and a touch of magic.
