Da Vale - Focacceria e Salumi
About
Da Vale Focacceria e Salumi is a beloved family‑run eatery in Forte dei Marmi that has been delighting visitors since 1924. Founded by Valentino Valè, the spot began as a humble pizzeria and soon became a culinary landmark for the Versilia and Tuscany region, offering its signature focaccia‑like “Schiacciatine” – thin, round flatbreads with a crisp crust and a fragrant oil‑and‑salt finish that have earned praise from locals, celebrities, and tourists alike. Today the menu has expanded to include stuffed focaccia, gnocco fritto, baked pizzas, and a selection of artisan cheeses and cured meats from the renowned Bedogni Egidio factory. The restaurant prides itself on fresh, in‑house baked products and an inviting outdoor “dehor” space where guests can enjoy salads, sandwich platters, and the daily specials in a relaxed, al fresco setting. Da Vale also offers breakfast and brunch options ranging from classic croissants and cake to gourmet pastries and signature “taglieri” of cured meats – perfect for a leisurely morning or a celebratory aperitif. For special occasions, the cosy venue can accommodate private dining and birthday events, providing personalized service and a warm atmosphere. Located at Piazza Garibaldi 4 in Forte dei Marmi, the establishment is conveniently situated in the heart of the coastal town and welcomes families, food lovers, and traveling foodies. Guests can also order the famous cured meats for home delivery directly through the Bedogni Egidio website – making Da Vale an excellent choice for both on‑site dining and take‑away treats.
