"It is nice to have dinner in an old Anglican church of 1909! Huge choice of pizza and draft beer. I recommend to try the unusual "Sacrestana" with "rapini" (vegetables), sausage and induja (chily sauce). This place is also well known as a restaurant of fish dishes."

"Great restaurant in Viareggio but it might get very crowded and u need to have extra patience. Pizzas are great and appetizers very tasteful. They have some others sea dishes"

"Seafood Lovers – Especially the Carbonara di Mare! If you’re a fan of fresh, flavorful seafood, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm, salty aroma of the sea—and the promise of a memorable meal. The moules are a standout starter: perfectly steamed, tender a bit spicy but genuinely tasty But the real star of the menu is the Carbonara di Mare. This creative twist on the Italian classic is simply divine—al dente pasta coated in a silky sauce enriched with the essence of the sea. Instead of pancetta, it features delicately sautéed seafood—prawns, clams, and perhaps a touch of squid—adding a luxurious brininess that blends perfectly with the creamy egg-based sauce. It’s rich but perfectly balanced, and every bite is pure coastal indulgence. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, with a subtle nautical touch, and the staff are knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Whether you’re a seafood connoisseur or just looking for something special and different, this place delivers in every way. Highly recommended—and don’t skip dessert either!"
