Baroni In Camaiore

13/08/2026: We found it average. The dishes were prepared as they should be, the service was adequate. We enjoyed the octopus, a fairly generous dish served with an excellent side dish, but we didn't like the desserts. The selection of bottles was decent, with some reasonably priced labels (€18). The only two things we didn't like were the injustice of the three euro per person cover charge, and the microfiltered water, which we found to taste like chlorine, which forced us to buy bottled water, which was also three euros each if I'm not mistaken.

06/08/2026: We go to La Branchina every year and have always loved the truly excellent food and the wonderful atmosphere. One of my mother's wishes was to celebrate her birthday at a table right by the water, so this year we came **specifically a week early to reserve**. It was even more important to us because this is the fifth consecutive year my mother has celebrated her birthday here. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told that our table was inside and that we hadn't requested a table near the water when we made the reservation, which is simply not true. We then waited outside for about 20 minutes, without receiving an apology or an offer of anything to drink. The food and location remain splendid, which is precisely why the experience was even more disappointing. We weren't expecting special treatment, just that our reservation, made well in advance, would be honored. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a very special evening for my mother's birthday and the realization of her little dream of dining by the water turned into a huge disappointment.
