Cafes and restaurants of Viareggio offer guests a huge variety of seafood and Italian dishes: traditional Tuscan vegetable salads dressed with the best kinds of olive oil, baked vegetables and mushrooms, sheep cheese, soups of fresh vegetables and fish, various dishes of beans and, of course, an incredible number of pizza and pasta, specialty sweets.
Another culinary trademark of Italy as a whole and Viareggio in particular is a wonderful natural dry wine Chianti.
And be sure to try the resort's spicy fish soup cacciuco - the local version is almost as popular as the Livornian one.
