Laciana By The Sea Original
Timing matters here more than at most Hua Hin seafood places. The sea view is the whole point of the setting, and if you turn up after dark you've paid for a view you can't see. Book a table for late afternoon, get the sunset, then stay on for dinner.
The cooking is better than the laid-back, home-style look suggests. Wood-fired pizza is what people keep coming back for, the truffle one especially, and reviewers describe the crust as properly crisp. Seafood is the other backbone of the menu, with baked fish that arrives cooked right rather than dried out. There's Thai food too, chicken fried rice and the like, plus pasta, so a mixed group won't struggle. Service holds up under pressure, and even large groups report food arriving fast, though dishes occasionally land at the wrong end of a long table. Mediterranean-ish decor, friendly staff, nothing stiff about any of it.

Reviews from Google
This is a seaside restaurant that, honestly, should have a very beautiful view. Unfortunately, we arrived after sunset, so we didn’t really get to enjoy the scenery. We came as a large group of almost 20 people, and the staff handled it reasonably well. The food was served fairly quickly, although some dishes were delivered to the wrong section of the table at first. Overall, the food was good and enjoyable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as the restaurant gets very crowded and fills up fast even on weekdays. The outdoor seating area with the sea view is especially popular. If possible, come before sunset and plan to stay for a long, relaxed evening to fully enjoy the atmosphere.
I just ate with my partner today, the main road is still in repairs. But the restaurant is open. The staffs are helpful, the food are good and delicious, we ordered chicken fried rice and mushrooms pizza. They give us discount because of the inconvenience. And before leave the staff give us ice cream as the compliments
Surprise encounter We have heard of this place for many years and finally we have got a chance to try. The restaurant is a cute, laid-back, home-like restaurant by the sea. We thought the food would be slow, but no, it was fast and systematic. Cooking was great. Baked fish was not overdone, spaghetti was perfect and pizza was deliciously crispy. Overall, a good experience at this restaurant. We highly recommend this place.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
