This is a tiny hole in the wall that you need to try. Cinque e cinque. Probably one of the simplest…read moresandwiches ever. Focaccia, torta d checci and eggplant s/p. Unbelievable. Everyone who works there are always happy and there is always a line. Service fast and friendly.

Usually your memory if a sandwich gets your expectations too high - not here. It tasted even better than we remembered. Get the cinque cinque with grilled aubergines. Great people behind the counter too!

While in Livorno we came here for lunch as the reviews looked really good. The inside is very…read morerustic and intimate, definitely a nice vibe. The only issues inside the restaurant were the area was cramped, as there were too many seats and not enough places to walk around the tables. The bigger issue was their automatic lighting in the watercloset - It would literally turn off within a minute after you got into the toilet area and wouldn't turn back on. The menu is nice, has many options on it. Service was slow and very impersonal. The items we ordered tasted great, but took a while to come out, even though they were relatively simple, pre-made items. The sauce with their meatballs was very nice. The lasagna was really creamy, cheesy, and tasty. Overall, it didn't wow us the way we hoped based on the reviews we read.

A good spot for coffee and a panino with prosciutto and mozzarella. They will make an "Americano"…read morecoffee - some assembly required (hot water served separately). The location is great, right by the water. No direct views though. The outdoor seating is comfortable and umbrella shade is ok. About half their covered spots still expose you to the sun. I haven't tried their lunch options. Staff is a little less than friendly when they become busy. Even if you speak Italian. There are maybe 6 cafes on this strip by the water and this is one of the more popular ones. Their food options are good, and certainly better than their neighbors... But they don't let you sit in the good spots if you're ordering food from the counter (even if you order a lot of food). Prices are reasonable. I strongly prefer "Barrachina Biancha" - just down the road. Their food is better, their drinks are better, and their attitude is better.
