i Fichi Secchi

The heart of it all, where everything began
and nothing has stayed the same for too long.

Where it all began
(and keeps evolving)

Vada's main square, a pizza-by-the-slice shop up for grabs, two twenty-somethings with little money and plenty of ideas. That's how i Fichi Secchi started, back in 2017. Nine years on we're still here, in a venue that has never been afraid to change, even when it was forced to. Our foundations? The way we work: serious behind the scenes, easygoing at the bar. Original, always.

The kitchen

Tuscan tradition, done freehand. Old favourites and original twists. Honest flavour, and off-menu specials that follow the seasons. Every year a new graphic style comes with the new dishes and the house classics.

The bottles

No wine list: we'd rather talk you through the wine in person. We choose together from over 500 wines that come and go fast, each one tasted and debated with people in the trade before we buy it and try it out for real.

At the bar you'll find a wide range of liqueurs and spirits on display, perfect for mixing or for those who like their drinks neat. Clear or aged, sweet or bitter: every bottle is there for a reason and does a specific job. Whether you're an enthusiast or just curious to try something different, you'll always find someone here to talk it through with.

The atmosphere

Convivial, never stiff. Warm and retro, full of personality and objects that stir up memories. A place that's alive and just the right amount of chaotic.

A place that never sits still: counters, furniture and equipment get moved and reworked every winter, chasing maximum efficiency and good looks. And we're proud to say we've done it all ourselves, with our own hands.

The rooms are steeped in history: we're in one of the oldest buildings in town, inside the stables of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who came to these parts in the mid-1800s to reclaim the coast of the upper Maremma.

The bar counter, which until the latest makeover stood as a piece of furniture in the middle of the room, comes from Ahmedabad in India: it's actually a teak staircase that once stood outside an old noble palace in the city. Around it, warming up the room, are lots of original objects from bygone eras, scattered all over the place.
