The Best Seafood Near Slitti, by the Record

1. Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant

A seafood restaurant on a piazza anchored by the old church of San Frediano in Cestello, where the room feels relaxed but quietly dressed up. The kitchen leans contemporary and fish-forward, from raw preparations and tasting menus to a daily catch you can walk up and point at. The bar runs a thoughtful cocktail list with tapas pairings, and the wine list keeps serious Italian verticals, Masseto and Ornellaia among them.

A Michelin-starred seafood restaurant in Viareggio that has been around forever, Romano is the kind of place where the traditions feel load-bearing rather than decorative. The kitchen leans on pristine local fish, with the occasional nod to classic Versilian recipes, while the current chef quietly modernizes around the edges. Out front, the service reads like a proper act of hospitality, wine recommendations included.

A seat overlooking the tourist harbour in Viareggio, this old-school seafood institution has been feeding the city long enough that regulars don't bother consulting the menu. The kitchen handles crustaceans and deep-water catch with quiet confidence, and the spaghetti alla Trabaccolara, a Viareggio recipe built on tomato and fish, is the dish locals will mention unprompted. The room is classic and elegant, the service professional without being stiff.

The outdoor terrace sits a few steps from the Viareggio promenade, which makes choosing a table inside a decision you'll quietly regret. This is a seafood restaurant where the kitchen leans on personal technique rather than obvious spectacle, the wine list rewards browsing, and the service is the kind that feels attentive without being theatrical. Bring people you want to linger with; the sea view does a lot of the conversational heavy lifting.

The two wood-fired ovens do more work than the name implies: this is a Michelin-starred seafood restaurant on the Versilian coast, not the casual bistro you might expect. Fish comes mostly from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the kitchen leans into wood-fired cooking to pull out texture and aroma. The wine cellar runs to nearly 2,000 labels, with a strong showing in Champagne and Burgundy. Lunch is a little looser, but the attention holds.

You drive through a pine forest and land practically on the sand before you spot the low, unassuming building that holds one of Tuscany's most quietly serious seafood restaurants, a Michelin-starred one. The Zazzeri family has been running this room forever, and the interior feels pleasantly stuck in another era. Classic techniques, local catch, no trend-chasing. The beach view does the decorating.

Portholes punctuate the walls of this sleek seafood restaurant in Ferrari country, which is either a bold design statement or a gentle reminder that you're nowhere near the coast. The kitchen leans modern but stays honest, letting the catch carry the meal. A daily selection of raw and simply prepared fish anchors the menu, and the tagliolini with langoustine, caviar, and a Martini-spiked cabbage purée shows where the chef's ambitions surface.
