Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We wanted to try the food from this boat due to the high TripAdvisor rating, but weren't around at the advertised opening hours. By pure chance, the boat arrived as we were passing at about 5.30pm when it was supposed to be closed, so we...took our chance & ordered chips, chicken nuggets & mixed fish fritters to be washed down with 2 cold beers. We sat on a nearby bench & thoroughly enjoyed the food & drink whilst watching the queue get bigger by the minute! Definitely recommended if you are maybe at the beach in Viareggio for the day. Ignore the opening hours on their Facebook page as they seem to come & go as they please depending on the weather. YUM!More

Went here one night while on holiday it was amazing I had the cod. So tender, very fresh and lightly battered. I really wanted another box it was so nice.

I had fried fish, fried porcini, and crocchette di pesce (fried cod fish balls). The fish was fresh and well fried, crunchy and tasty. Same goes for the mushrooms. No need to go to fancy touristic restaurants, it's all here. Just follow the locals.

I stopped off here on the first day of my trip to Viareggio this year and I wasn’t disappointed. I had the fritto misto with lots of fresh lemon and a cold bottle of beer and it was amazing. Very tasty, fresh food and so...relaxing to sit on the wall and watch the world go by as you’re enjoying the food. I will be back next summer without fail. FantasticoMore

This was our umpteen visit a very unusual eating experience indeed which certainly reminded me of the once delightful eating of fish and chips in Brighton wrapped in newspapers! The fish is utterly fresh as it is caught daily locally the batter is crispy and...the chips too. You are served while you wait and the meal is cooked aboard the floating boat. There are seats along the way it is an open air eating experience. You can then pop around the corner the start of the Viareggio Promenade along the seafront and visit one of the numerous ice cream parlours to complete the meal.More

Had to try this local institution. The chips were wonderfully light, however the small fish cakes were not great and I would give those a miss.

We were sitting in the shade watching the world go by when a boat docked on the opposite side of the water, within minutes a queue of locals had formed and we noticed that seafood was being cooked on board. It smelt delicious so we...took a chance and went over the bridge to join the queue and were not disappointed! We had a couple of portions of battered cod, one of prawns and some chips. The batter was really light and crispy, the seafood was very fresh and everything was cooked to order, it was really delicious and while there is a little wait for your food it's definitely worth it.More

From what I can gather from reviews this place is a bit of a local institution and why can see why. Queues of people queuing for simple but delicious portions of fried fish. We shared a box of the fried cod (bacalao) which was crispy...yet moist inside and delicious. We wish we had tried more dishes from here. All looked excellent.More

Quick, cheap eats sitting on the dock of the bay, a cold beer with dried food in the sunshine offers very little to dislike, the fritto misto was amazing, squid, prawns in a light batter, with a splash of lemon, ordered the deep fried anchovies...but they were very disappointing, over cooked I fear plus cheaps were standard Bejam frozen favourites, but they filled a hole. Cold beer or wine to go with it, well worth the visit, don't expect table service as there are no tables!More
