"Location and vibes are great, food was good the fish is great and the tiramisu's cream was one of the best I've had. Staff was friendly, but unfortunately they repeatedly forgot stuff we ordered - which they then corrected quickly after we asked about it, but that definitely took away from the experience."

"It was our first trip to Viareggio, and so we opted for a restaurant that we knew was well reviewed, as many of the other places looked very "tourist centric" - which is not really a surprise in a Beach town. I'm sure La Pia is too... but it didn't feel that way. We walked in without reservations on a Sunday lunchtime, and were immediately greeted with a warm smile and seated. Our plan had been to just have a quick drink and a bite, but the menu and feel of the place won us over and so we decided on the whole primi, secondi, dolci thing plus a bottle of Rose Prosecco. We very much enjoyed the food, the location, and the service. Honestly, it's been one of the best meals we've had on this trip so far. I would definitely do this again. The seating is all outdoors but well shaded, and the food is pretty legitimate - and the portions are great, we could easily have shared our secondi."
