I had dinner at this beautiful restaurant with a group of friends. From the terrace we enjoyed a wonderful view from our table on the Port of Viareggio. The restaurant is very welcoming with large and spacious rooms, the terrace overlooking the port is remarkable, furnished with taste and personality. A menu that offers almost all dishes based on fresh fish of excellent quality. The service is very professional, the wine list is excellent and the owner is fantastic. Everything I tasted was amazing and really well executed. I certainly recommend it.

Our favorite dinner spot in Viareggio. We came here last year and loved it so had to return again this year. Lovely fresh seafood, excellent hospitality and they have an incredible wine list.

It was a lovely restaurant situated just in front of the marina, and definitely nice to have a table upstairs with a view of the water and the yachts. However, they tried to give us a table in their less attractive verandah (with this harsh lighting) which we refused, and were then seated inside the main hall though in a corner a bit far from the nice views - and exposed to second hand smoke because they allowed smokers to smoke in the verandah next to us. I think many of the nice tables were for couples or 3 pax. And we were 4. However, the service was friendly and efficient and the food really very good. We came here for the seafood dishes and every one of them was nicely executed and presented. They also had fresh porcini options (it’s the beginning of the season), which we would have been tempted to try if not for the fact that we really came to have seafood. A good address.

We were very late for our reservation due to an accident on the autostrada. The service was gracious, kind and prompt. I own and am Chef of a fish restaurant on Lake Michigan in Indiana Dunes in the USA ???????? (Fish Camp) and I can attest that everything was fresh and perfect.
