This place was recommended by another local restaurant owner. We ordered their set seafood menu which meant we got a variety of dishes....all done beautifully and the chef really cares and is passionate about cooking good food. We went with Italian friends on our last night as a special treat and it definitely was that.

We were recommended by our hotel " Katy" generally good quality of food , mussels delicious and unforgetable :), dishes not overpriced. We were there few times but each time we could not order a tiramisu- really pity...A key factor is service - at this restaurant service was friendly. The only thing to be improved is english language skills but...

While visiting Italy I had great food, but this is the only place I still remember the meals. We were two couple, we were staying at Hotel President, it was an easy walk to the restaurant. We had dinner twice here, we tried for a third time but there was not availability. I recommend making reservation, stop by or call.... More

If you are adventurous ask Luca to just bring you what he thinks is best. You will be happy! I hope you like seafood because they do it right here.

Great fish restaurant with a decent selection of wine. Try mussels soup, grilled seafood, spaghetti with clams.

In Viareggio it seems difficult to find restaurants that are no tourist traps - this one was recommended to us in the hotel and is really excellent and not too expensive! But book a table in advance, it is really always very crowded!

Visited this restaurant during August 2012 for a special occasion. Popular with the locals and always seemed full at nights whenever we passed by. Meal was average, nothing outstanding. Wine okay. Staff rushed off their feet. Did not have sweets as service was slow. As in previous comments, waited over thirty minutes to get the bill. The chef, when he... More

Good restaurant, with decent food and plenty of locals. But very busy and not enough staff and ruined by having to ask for the bill half a dozen times.

You do need to book ahead but I can fully understand why it is so popular. We walked past the restaurant and it was bursting at the seems. We popped in and made a reservation for the following evening. The service was fabulous. Our 3 year old daughter was spoiled rotten. The food was cooked to perfection and the portions... More
