Kalika In Viareggio

14/06/2025: This seafood restaurant offers a very welcoming and well-furnished environment, which invites you to have a pleasant evening. A little tip: I recommend slightly increasing the air conditioning, because during the meal the heat was felt, compromising the comfort a bit. The menu is mainly seafood, with a limited selection of appetizers, first courses and second courses. This approach, with few but carefully prepared dishes, is an aspect that I appreciate a lot, as it usually means greater attention and quality in the preparation. We ordered three seafood risottos, one baked fish and two fried foods. The risottos were exquisite, both for the perfect cooking of the rice and for the quality of the ingredients; a true explosion of flavors that won us over. The fried foods were also very good. The sore point was unfortunately the baked fish. I had asked for it to be boned, and I was served a dish with three or four fillets that were really small and, unfortunately, lacking the quality that one would expect. Without wanting to judge, the texture and flavor did not do justice to the fresh fish I expected. I would have liked to see it whole and then deboned at the table, as in other restaurants, to appreciate its freshness and integrity. Despite the disappointment with the baked fish, I did not want to penalize the score excessively because, for the rest, the experience was positive. The risottos were excellent and the service was very attentive and friendly. The prices were absolutely in line with the overall offer. Overall, a restaurant with great potential and outstanding dishes, but with a small slip in the quality of the baked fish which, in a place like this, should be impeccable.
