Bar Trattoria Nostromo In Viareggio

16/03/2025: I heard good things about this restaurant, which made me want to go. I'll start by saying that it took me 2 years to book a table for two... then finally trying on Monday for Saturday, they confirmed a table for 2 free on the phone. But it was conditioned by the time they decide... so I accepted just to try their dishes. Table time 7:45 PM, having to leave at 9:30 PM (never happened before). Anyway, we arrive, they open the door and ask us the name of the reservation, and that's it. We sit in a rustic, slightly secluded room... with tables close together. The waiter arrives, bringing the bread and asking for the type of water... and so far so good. The owner takes the order with a bottle of Bolgheri wine. 1. The door is already open and he makes me taste it. Which is not good. He opens the bottle in front of me. But knowing that my wife is annoying, I let it go, having made sure that the wine was good and could go in the tasting. Anyway .. the dishes arrive all prepared before and reheated after the order. Appetizer .. land .. 2 crepes 1 crostini and a small parmigiana . First tordelli .. with ragu .. they didn't taste of anything .. bland .. Penne with tomato .. raw pasta .. tomato .. simple without character .. Then comes the second course . Wild boar with Salmi .. and roast potatoes .. you could see the transition to the oven also because of the lack of moisture that mixes the game .. the potatoes were lukewarm and soft .. ( I ate because I was hungry ) but I had to get up and leave .. given the fast and inattentive service .. especially from the owner . I repeat, I am a lover of red wine of substance.. and you cannot bring a bottle of 14.5 already uncorked and not put it on the table. However.. for me, failed.. it may be good for some.. but in Versilia.. there are better.. !!! I am an entrepreneur.. but my customers.. I do not look down on them...!!!!

11/03/2025: After a long wait we managed to book a table.. Small and welcoming place with the possibility of eating outside during the summer; the menu isn't very long and it's a positive thing (at least for us) both sea and land... We had the first of the day... spaghetti with razor clams: delicious! You can really feel the sea! Secondly, an abundant and varied fish soup...the octopus was marvelous and melted in your mouth. Excellent desserts! The fast service and the kind and polite staff (and it's not something to be taken for granted..) We will definitely be back.. as soon as we manage to book 😅.. it's very popular.. and rightly so!
