05/06/2025: We had lunch at Ristorante Barbarossa in Marina di Pisa and we can say with absolute certainty that it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant is in a spectacular location, practically on the sea, with a view that alone is worth the visit. But the real surprise came at the table.
We ordered a paella for two people and it was simply spectacular: abundant, rich in flavors, with very fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced between meat, fish and spices. Each forkful was a journey through the scents of the Mediterranean. The rice was cooked perfectly, neither dry nor too soupy, and the mix of seafood was of excellent quality.
The service was impeccable: kind, smiling and very attentive staff, always present without ever being intrusive. They recommended an excellent local white wine, fresh and fragrant, which went perfectly with the paella and made lunch even more enjoyable.
All with an excellent quality-price ratio, which is far from obvious in such an evocative location. The bill was honest and absolutely justified by the quality of the food and the overall experience.
In short: a perfect lunch, in a beautiful place, with excellent food, good wine and a service to match. If you are in Marina di Pisa or the surrounding area, a stop at Barbarossa is a must. We will definitely be back!
