Great authentic local place. They had me at the smell of truffle oil wafting at the entrance and…read morethe wild boar on the menu. The staff was absolutely wonderful. To begin with, they were about to close at 3pm, but seated our hungry and grumpy party anyway. A nice outside seating on the square, but I am glad that we agreed to sit inside and got a comfortable couch snd even more authentic atmosphere. All staff spoke good English and were very friendly. The wild boar in tomato sauce was incredibly tender. Traditional ravioli was almost better. Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms appeared to have fresh porcini. Even bread was deliciously fresh. Still can not decide whether Tiramisu or Bavarese with candied nuts won the desert battle. After a week in Tuscany, this is the best meal we had. Ad you can imagine, that's a big compliment...

This restaurant looked so "classic Toscana", I was almost suspicious about its authenticity. But…read moreno worries - very friendly service, good wine selection and solid food. Most parties sat outside, but a trip inside to check out the restored mill is fun while you wait. Wander around the building for a view of a small waterfall surrounded with meticulously planted flowers and groomed lawn. Loved the picked onions and olives brought to the table with bread. Focus on meats here - chicken, lamb and rabbit come by themselves and in combination, grilled or fried. Fried rabbit was my favorite (everybody who had grilled rabbit reported it as very spicy). Deserts are all home-made, a good mix of Tiramisu, another version of it with Nutella, fruit tarts, panna cotta, etc. Lovely place, you will leave with a happy full tummy and pictures to brag to your friends about "this nice restaurant in Tuscany I once dined at..."

I do have to say that the service was great, they waiters are all very kind and they all speak English, and the wine was good. But go eat somewhere else.

I was in Pietrasanta for two nights a couple of weeks ago with one of my best friends and can…read morehonestly say that our dinner at Enoteca Marcucci was a highlight of my almost three-week trip to Europe. We'd been given the recommendation by an acquaintance and were delighted to find that the patrons of the restaurant were all Italian. I think it's fair to say that we were the only Spanglish-speaking patrons there. Although the restaurant was quite busy, we were quickly seated and the service was exceptional. If you're looking for a meal of pizza or pasta, this isn't the place to go. But, if you're looking for fresh fish or meat, you've found treasure. Most impressive i'd say is their wine list, which looks more like several volumes of an encyclepdia glued together. To say it's extensive would be a gross understatement. The food itself was extremely fresh and flavorful, but my favorite part of our meal was the delicious chocolate cake and the complimentary digestivo. If you're in Pietrasanta, DO NOT miss this amazing little restaurant!

Unless you plan to make their dinner service right as they open, be sure to make a reservation in advance as the tiny spot fills up very quickly. From the moment we arrived for our dinner reservation the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and as if we were right at home. As soon as we were settled in, our waiter brought us a small "welcome dish" from the chef that he described to us a typical Tuscan soup. I don't know what it was called but it was delicious! For our food, we ordered their tordelli with meat ragu sauce after our waiter informed us it's a typical type of ravioli in that region. You'll quickly learn as you travel through Italy that each region and often many towns and cities have their own unique ways of creating their pasta dishes that you can only find in that region. The recommendation was a good one because the dish was delicious! For our main, we ordered the Pork Steak Senese which consisted of pre-cut grilled pork with parmesan and balsmamic and grilled trevisano (a type of leafy green). It didn't look the most appetizing when it was placed in front of us but looks can be deceiving because it was another delicious dish. To wrap up what was already an enjoyable meal, when our waiter brought our bill he also placed a small tray of almond biscuit cookies topped with powdered sugar, a dessert typical of the Tuscan region, as another compliments of the kitchen. Between the tasty food and the small gestures of hospitality, we will definitely be back to dine here if we ever found ourselves in Viareggio again.
