Surfer Joe Cafe & Diner Livorno

So the only downside with this restaurant was the temperature inside the restaurant, it was to hot. The table we got didnt offer any cooling and there seemed to be no AC so to hot for comfort. There was some tables with ceiling fan but yes, think about where you sit. The food was really good so the whole family of five was happy. Kids age 11, 9 and 4.

Beautiful place to sit near the sea. Enjoy American Burger and fries Veggie Burger was good

This seemed like a really fun place, with a wonderful atmosphere and live music. I was going to have a glass and order dinner, but even though there was several open tables, I was told, rather abruptly, that I would have to ask for seating, so I went to the front and waited in a loose line. When it came my turn to ask for seating, the girl bartender in front dismissed me and helped someone else even though she knew that I was next, maybe she doesn't like foreigners, who knows. When she finally acknowledged me, I was told that I couldn't have a table, as I wanted, and that I would have to sit on a bar stool with a narrow counter, against the window. She was rude and dismissive and she wasn't the only one of the staff that I interacted with, that was like that. It wasn't as much, what they said, but how they said it, so much for customer service. Maybe they should put a sign outside saying no foreigners or we prefer groups, not single customers. That's fine, Livorno only has about a thousand other resteraunts who do serve single customers and have great customer service. I had one drink and left without ordering dinner. I won't be going back there again and I wouldn't recommend it either. Quality service is a cornerstone of any good dining experience and they didn't have it, not at all, and the rudeness just confirmed my conclusions. Both staff members behind the counter in the submitted photos, were the worst

Those girls at the restaurant were total sweethearts, always smiling and super helpful as soon as they saw us! I got a tuna sandwich, it was good but had way too much mayo:/ The place was gorgeous and chill, you could see the sea and feel the breeze.

From the furniture, the posters hanging on the walls and the rock ‘n’ roll background music you get the feeling of going back straight to the 50’s. The live music offer is top quality with international bands performing every week. And if you’re hungry they serve delicious burger sandwiches. A must to visit if you’re in Livorno

Arrive 4:30pm, ask the woman at the front if we can eat there and she says sure so we sit down and go to order food, Waiter says you can order food at 6 when the kitchen opens, ok fine no problem even though you literally just told us we can eat there, I’ll have a beer and the kids can hang for a bit. 6pm rolls around, I go to order, she says I have to wait till 6:10 to order, ok. I come back at 6:10pm, she points me to a waitress. We go get the waitress, who grabs menus and sets them at a table far from where we had been sitting since 4:30. She says we can’t sit where we had been sitting since it’s “reserved”, there is no sign saying it’s reserved anywhere and had already been sitting there for 1.5 hours. We left, absolutely terrible service. These people could care less about you, if I were the owner I would fire them all and start over.

Wonderful place in Livorno Next two the sea and in summers there is a good breeze in the evening hour. The staff is really lovely, friendly and fun. The food quality is excellent and it's warm . Everything was good to taste and the prices are nominal. Must visit.

Great atmosphere at a quiet place. They really tried making it look and feel american and you just notice that. The fries are crispy and thin, and perfect! They give you a little platter with ketchup, bbq sauce, mayonaise and mustard if you want sauce with your fries. (Look at the pictures for the full list of items on this platter) The waitress was friendly and knows how to speak english. Asks if you want ice in your drink or not.
