You're catapulted into an environment that's a mix between a ship and the Mad Hatter's house: inside the Viareggio pine forest, on Easter Monday we found a place in this restaurant that certainly doesn't go unnoticed for its colors, furnishings, and ambiance.
We were welcomed by Mr. Amelio, an old-fashioned owner, who told us about his unique and exceptional cuisine. He uses only the catch of the day, and that makes all the difference.
Excellent quality, and the owner is a joy to listen to. There are few places like this these days.
We'll be back!!!!

Every time we're in Viareggio, lunch at Buon Umore is a must. It's always a pleasure to encounter the extreme kindness of Amelio and his staff, combined with a never-ending professionalism.
Here, the care for the raw materials is almost a mission: you eat authentic, local fish, cooked with a rare respect for the true flavor of the sea. It's certainly not a cheap place, but the excellent quality of the products and the originality of the dishes more than justify the expense.
If you're looking for substance and the passion of those who truly know the sea, this is the place. A guarantee of authenticity that makes us return every time with a smile.

Contrary to many reviews I read that unfairly give low ratings, I have to say that sometimes trusting reviews isn't a good idea. At this restaurant, I found preparation, a precise approach to cooking, and above all, good, healthy, and authentic local cuisine. The host certainly stands out and doesn't remain in the background, but for me, that was just a minor detail. Fresh fish dishes prepared with great respect for the ingredients, impeccable service, and the ambiance is a delight. Recommended!

One of a kind, simple, and refined.
For dinner, I recommend the tasting menu.

The food is excellent. The fish is incredibly fresh and top-quality. The dishes are very unique and have a philosophy behind them; you can tell they're well thought out. DON'T go if you don't want the tasting menu or if you don't want to trust the chef (he might be a bit rude if you do). If you do, you won't regret it. The tasting menu isn't huge, but there are many courses, and I always leave feeling very full (and I'm not someone who gets full easily).

I thank the ill-disposed gentleman at the restaurant/pizzeria opposite this little gem, who was closed and wouldn't tell me where I could eat something... right in front I see this small, illuminated building and I go in. This is a fish-based restaurant, I had a really good lunch and the price was in line.

The best seafood restaurant in Viareggio... by far. Only local ingredients are used, including those found at the local fish market. Fair prices for the quality. If you're looking for baked sea bream or tuna steak, this isn't for you. Trust the restaurant and its owner's philosophy.

We tasted fish we'd never eaten before, and it was a truly wonderful experience, although it's not for everyone; you have to let yourself be transported by the restaurant's vision.
You won't find seafood spaghetti, fried calamari, or seafood salads. Just be aware.
