“ Stopped for apéritif friendly staff and a great place to be by the sea. Happy to recommend and will return ”
“ Probably an underrated restaurant. The mixed fried fish plate was extremely good. Very fresh and especially very big. Service was also very nice and even apologized when he didn't came for a longer time. View directly onto the beach and beautiful sea. ”
“ Free beach, able to buy fresh pizza and full bar, nice staff. ”
“ This bar - restaurant is one of the most lovely places of the seafront road in Marina di Massa. You can find it next to "Fiat" tower. I'm sure you'll see it soon, because at the entrace there's a signboard with the name of restaurant and the dish of the day. It's a cozy place on the beach where you can hang out quietly with your friends. It has a wonderful terrace and the staff is really kind to customers: they do their best for you to have a great experience. You can choose if you prefer to eat or to drink meantime you can see the sea. The cook Silvia is very creative: thanks to her we always taste a lot of different dishes, because the restaurant menu changes weekly. The meal choice depends on the ingredients availability because she assures us she serves only fresh dishes. You can find in the menu: spagetti with seafood, pasta with clams, baked fish, octopus with potatoes, grilled fish and grilled meat, moreover there are dishes for vegetarians. For me the cons could be to find the restaurant full, so I recommend you book the table. I surely recommend restaurant's Chiosco because the place is fantastic, the quality of the dishes is the best and the prices are low. I recommend you finish your meal with a lemon sorbet. It's really delicious. Go there and eat, drink, relax! ”
“ Busy little cafe and restaurant by the ocean ran by awesome ladies. The menu changes daily and they are open every day for lunch. I had the seafood salad and a mix of fried fish and shrimp. All tasted very fresh, with no fuss. Will definitely go back for the spaghetti with muscles and hopefully for some fried calamari. ”
“ Lovely place on beach for a morning breakfast. But they do not have good pastry. ”
“ Average food & drinks, helpful service and absolute blast location! ”
