30/03/2025: A nice place close enough to the sea, for those occasions when you've had enough of fish and quick meals, because here... You eat meat.
The simple environment but with some details in the right place, like the fridges with meat on display at the entrance, really suggestive. The very friendly staff a little inattentive to the customer, but nothing sensational, service in general a little slow and cumbersome for an appetizer we waited over 20 minutes and it was a simple cutting board, not to mention the 15 minute wait for the coffee.
But apart from that... The food: everything was good, particular attention to the carbonara which was truly 10 (if I were to nitpick I would have preferred it a little creamier, but really trifles) you could tell it was well prepared because even if you didn't take the guanciale, the pasta alone had all the flavors. The coarsely chopped pepper was also appreciated.
The tagliata, neither good nor bad, good meat and cooked strictly rare. The tar tar didn't leave me with any particular emotion, but the pesto was really good, maybe even too tasty considering that it is eaten alone (without pasta, to be clear). The bill is honest, obviously if you eat meat you can't expect to spend €20 but you can also get the pizza (which looked good)
-Appetizer divided into 3 (a bit poor, I recommend getting at least 2 if there are 3 of you) + focaccia
-1 tar tar
-2 carbonara
-2 tagliate
-3 coffees
+ 3 waters and a glass of wine
40€ per person
22/03/2025: The Barracuda pizzeria restaurant in Marina di Cecina is a place where the Tuscan culinary tradition combines with a welcoming and informal environment. The variety of the menu is one of the strengths of the restaurant which offers not only excellent pizzas prepared with fresh, quality ingredients but also grilled meat dishes that satisfy the most demanding palates. The service is friendly and attentive with the staff always ready to advise customers on the dishes of the day or on the house specialities. The atmosphere with the owner Michele is lively.
Ideal for a family dinner or an evening with friends.
Among the pizzas it is possible to find classic options and more innovative variations all cooked in a wood oven which gives a unique flavour.
The grilled meats are prepared with skill and accompanied by fresh and tasty side dishes. Furthermore, the location of the restaurant is adjacent to the tombolo reserve and a few meters from the sea.
Barracuda is a great choice for dinner after a day at the beach.
The prices are excellent. In summary, if you are in Marina di Cecina and are looking for a good place to eat, the Barracuda pizzeria, restaurant and arms is definitely worth a visit.
