Description

This elegant yet relaxed restaurant does not overlook the sea directly, but is situated on a trendy roadside, adorned with tribal motifs, wicker chairs and dark wood marquetry tables. Here, guests can enjoy a menu predominantly based on seafood, featuring modern touches and imaginative interpretations that make the most of the ingredients without compromising their identity. The menu also features some of the restaurant’s great classics, such as the unmissable steamed langoustines and prawns, served with crisp vegetables and mayonnaise in a perfect example of flavour, balance and technique.A h

Review summary

Alex, located in Marina di Pietrasanta, specializes in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine with a strong emphasis on seafood. Based on 80 reviews (avg. 3.7/5), guests frequently praise the high quality and freshness of ingredients, particularly raw seafood and signature dishes like spaghetti with sea urchins. However, significant criticisms highlight inconsistent service and pacing, with reports of excessive wait times and delayed food delivery. Ambiance issues include noise interference from nearby karaoke bars during some evenings. While the kitchen brigade is commended for executing tasting menus well, some diners find meat dishes uncreative and feel that prices do not always justify the service level or overall experience. The restaurant offers excellent produce but requires improvements in operational efficiency and environmental control to meet higher standards.

Best for

Suitable for diners prioritizing high-quality fresh seafood who can tolerate potential service delays.
