La Barchina Fish &Fried In Viareggio

25/10/2024: As soon as we walked in to this wonderful restaurant the owner Louis made us feel at home. The atmosphere and decor were a background to the excellent food and service. It is not often that you take your time eating to enjoy every mouthful. Thank you again for a fantastic evening.

22/10/2024: This, in my opinion, is the best restaurant in Lucca. Five minutes after sitting down at the table I felt like I was in Paris, in the beating heart of the French city, completely forgetting that I was in Lucca. The cuisine is delicious, they offer dishes that are not too complicated and you can feel that they use French techniques to cook, combining everything with the best Italian raw materials. I was mainly struck by two dishes, the fillet in chianti sauce and the dessert whose name I don't remember. The fillet was very tender, it melted in the mouth and the sauce with which it was accompanied made it unique, both for its goodness and originality, it was absolutely not the classic fillet that is eaten everywhere. Of the dessert, however, I was enraptured by its consistencies, many and of different types, obviously the taste also left nothing to be desired. They have a fair selection of wines, obviously there is a lot of France in this cellar. The service is very convivial and attentive, you feel at home here, congratulations indeed. As for the decor, I have nothing to say because it left me speechless. For anyone who has been to Paris, coming here is an emotion.
