Trattoria Il Deserto In Livorno

The food is good and cheap...but the problem is that there were two of us and they didn't serve us together...so it was like eating alone at home!! The meat was excellent...the fish lasagna was excellent...but the fried fish was terrible...we couldn't talk because of the noise!! It's not a place for couples 😉

I went to lunch today with a group of friends at this trattoria I'd heard so much about. The menu is 15 euros for a first course, second course, and side dish. More than the food, you'll remember the experience for the staff, especially Michele, who keeps you on track with his voice and amazes you with his memory. He doesn't write down; he listens, memorizes, and never misses a beat! The fixed price is truly inviting, the portions are generous, the house wine is good, and the punch is very good! We had a great time, even though the wait was long. I recommend booking, otherwise you're out of luck.

Excellent... The food is superb, everything is delicious... Kind, welcoming, and friendly. A true old-fashioned trattoria. Highly recommended if you're passing through Livorno! Try it and believe it!

Excellent. I finally managed to get there. I recommend booking. It's conveniently located for workers in the industrial/port area. Fast service, excellent value.

A fixed-price trattoria, popular with workers and tourists. The food is excellent; there are individual tables and shared tables. Always crowded, so reservations are recommended.

We ate there before boarding, the food was excellent and the service was quick and orderly... kind and attentive waiters... we hope to return soon.

Excellent value for money, service a bit chaotic

We went for lunch last Saturday. First tip: always make a reservation! Second tip: don't book more than 1 pm! It's a trattoria, so it's "alla buona," but it deserves that "alla Buona" vibe. The setting is basic but clean, the waiters are always on call and never miss a beat. Good food, excellent prices. We had a table of 8 and ate everything from starters to cacciucco (fish stew), spadellata (a type of fried fish), fried fish, and desserts, and honestly, we got what we paid. They offer an à la carte menu (written on huge blackboards) with menu options (first course, second course, side dish/second course/side dish/etc. etc.), excluding dessert. As you can imagine, it's worth it, both for the meal and the price. I hope to return soon, keeping the first and second tips in mind. It's not on the beach, but from there to the terrace it's just over 5 minutes by car.

A fantastic place for a business lunch. Friendly, popular, and offering a wide selection of dishes. It exudes the typical Livorno atmosphere. A must-visit.

Excellent, good food, great value. It's a simple trattoria, but very busy. Reservations are recommended, starting at 12:00 and arriving ten minutes beforehand.
