La Barchina Fish &fried

great food, sympathy, price ok, sin for the kilometric tail however it was worth it.

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.

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. View menu

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.

the best fried fish I have ever tasted even in the best restaurants (including michelin stars) excellent mixed fried prices) and abundant portion. if there is always a row summer and winter a reason there is! in the photo the last new entrance, the sandwich with the big fried!

amazing fried muscheln euro, pasta alla trabacolara euro very good and huge ammount, but not my style, crab stick euro very good. and fritto misto it was actually from a boat next to this which was also amazing. fast and easy to order, they tell you the time. sitting next to the sea in the harbour eating fresh fish, without paying copper View menu

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.

during the summer holidays, me and my partner decided to take a trip to the road, and so after walking x the streets and the long sea, we came across the bar, a real boat docked in the port of Viareggio... The fried fish scent, inebriates until the beginning of the pier. Wide choice of frying including, squid, shrimp, anchovies, cod, chips, etc...What to say excellent fry, light, not greased, digestible, exquisite!! ! We took two frittini, two chips and two coke cola, for a total of money spent very well!!!C will definitely return... I recommend the bar for the quality of the fish, and for the friendliness of the staff!

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! View menu
