    My visit left much to be desired. The wine service was particularly frustrating; we asked for Pinot Grigio, but the waitress simply informed us they didn’t have it and listed other wines by name only, offering no details about their region, taste, or characteristics. This lack of information made it hard to choose a suitable alternative. The food was equally disappointing. My pasta main dish was excessively salty, to the point of being inedible, yet it wasn’t removed from the bill despite our feedback. The octopus tickles were tough and difficult to chew, which further soured the meal. Additionally, while seated indoors, I was bitten by a mosquito, which, while minor, added to the overall discomfort. Overall, the lack of attention to detail in both service and food quality made this a disappointing dining experience. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues for future guests.

    The staff was wonderful and attentive. I came at 7:30 and was the first guest as the italians eat late.

    The ambience was very pleasant and the starters are delicious. Two pastas we ordered were tasteless and cold (plates were not warm) and the wine was worse than we expected. After asking to pay we waited ~15 minutes, then we gave up and came to pay at the cashier. Would not recommend, we have been to a better restaurant just around the corner.

    A little gem of a restaurant. Staff very helpful and welcoming. And a very unusual (fish-based) menu - what we ordered was really well cooked, and tasty. Well worth seeking out.

    Our meal at Lucifero was the perfect ending to a day after visiting CinqueTerre. Wonderful wine, cuisine and service!

    Very stylish restaurant with a particular and welcoming atmosphere. Very friendly service. Great and exceptional dishes with - IMHO - a slight Japanese touch. It‘s a restaurant, where you get something different with an utmost high quality. We will come back.

    Food quality was good, service was terrible, waited 25 mins for main course and ordered it at the beginning of the starters. Risotto was terrible.sat with empty drinks for 20 minutes

    Fantastic “hidden gem” that far exceeded my expectations. The “taster” starter was superb and my risotto was really good. My partner was equally delighted. If you don’t mind a short walk from the main area, and a looking for sea food, definitely book here

    Me and my family holiday in Viareggio every year and we always return to Lucifero for a meal twice in that week. We are welcomed back every year the service, the food and value for money cannot be beaten. Eating here is a must do and I highly recommend it.

    Cool location, Great designed and very delicious! I wanna marry the cook ???????????? The starter was a variation of 3 and a perfect course. I’m very impressed of the quality of the food .

    We really enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant! Ordered the risotto, and a sparkling wine which the waiter recommended, and it sure met our expectations. For dessert, we had a very good espresso martini. The seating area inside was really cool and cosy, maybe a bit noisy outside, due to the road. Service was very good, but took some time to get the bill. However, very pleased with both food, drinks and service, all in all. Would definitely recommend!

    The best meal we have had in Italy so far. Food, drinks and our waiter were all absolutely wonderful. All we had to do was ask what he recommended and surprise us with a drink…perfecto.

    Second time we have visited this restaurant on our holiday this year. We come back as a family every year because this restaurant is the best in Viareggio. The owner is always so welcoming and knows our love for his Pavlova. Ricardo served us tonight and made us his signature cocktails which were incredible and he was wonderful and his service was excellent. The chef and their dishes are incredible the food is perfection. We will definitely see you next June and we highly recommend anyone to visit this hidden gem.

    My family visit from England every year to Viareggio and the first thing we do after we book our flights and apartment is book Lucífero. This restaurant is perfect. The food is out of this world, the atmosphere is cosy and homely and the owner is so friendly welcoming us back every year. I thoroughly recommend you visit this restaurant.

    We have been going to Lucifero for years. It's the perfect restaurant for a delicious dinner with friends or a romantic evening. They consistently deliver exquisitely prepared food, lovely ambience (outside and inside), and attentive service. Making a reservation at Lucifero always results in having a perfect evening. Thanks again!

    The food was absolutely PERFECT! There is no doubt on the top quality of the ingredients. Original and pure taste, everything prepared with passion and style to achieve this excellent result. The service was very good, apart from one detail that we found extremely strange; we were served from start to end by two spontaneous and kind but yet well informed and professional girls, all perfect. The bill instead was brought by a man we didn’t see till that moment, asking for how we wanted to pay ... We guessed he must be the owner of the place ... it was a strange. and very uncomfortable situation; if he was reallythe boss I would advise him rather to serve at least a drink or desert before coming to ask for the payment ...

    We have eaten at Lucifero's restaurant many times. Delicious food, warm eclectic interior, great service, and always a good overall experience. We love supporting this business, and they always provide for us a great meal and romantic date. Thank you to everyone at Lucifero's, and happy new year!

    Very nice atmosphere and decor. When we visited they were out of two of their main features (bonito & scallops). The tiramisu for dessert was excellent.

    Hands down the best dinner we had in Viareggio. The restaurant looks very nice with a great atmosphere and friendly service. We ordered the Chef's Menu of 5 courses and ended up with a delicious dessert (really, the Pavlova is amazing!), but in general, we've been pleasantly surprised by the quality and the taste of every single one of the dishes. In 2 words: highly recommended!

    Very lovely place with cozy atmosphere. Great food and even better wine list! Be prepared to wait for the food a little longer, but it's not hard over a glass of wine or a cocktail. Ver nice and attentive staff. Will go back for sure!
